But does that now mean that core games are targetted at women or men? It matters because this whole sexism debacle insists 50% of gamers are women and should receive the attention of that, but if only 10% of gamers are women then they're never going to get the representation 50% would get, publishers would still throw their effort at the 90%. Any effort for them to change that would be fruitless because they'd simply not care. Everyone has an idea of the difference between casual, core and hardcore; with a bit of leeway either side we can determine how many of different kinds of people are each one with a most played game, favourite game and you could even include how often you spend on forums talking about games in there for good measure.RoBi3.0 said:Define core gamers? I think this whole nonsense of your not really a gamer unless you insert X is silly. If you enjoy playing any video game on a regular basis, you are welcome to the gamer party.Genocidicles said:What does it take for someone to be qualified as a gamer though? I mean studies such as these usually consider someone who plays a bit of interactive televison a gamer.
I'm more interested in what percentage of core gamers are female.
But that's not for me to do, I really don't care that much, I can assume that the majority of gamers are men because publishers insist on targetting men. They don't care about anything other than profit really, so I trust they've done the appropriate research to achieve maximum profit.
