Female gamers are the fastest growing demographic of video game players

Americans spend $16 billion a year on computer and video games. But in the industry that was once dominated by male players, female gamers are the fastest growing demographic of video game players.

According to who? any female gamer i have seen have been ultra casual , 5 mins on farmville is not a growing demographic, only girl i know who plays games plays wow uuugh, there are not alot of games to appeal to girls... cooking mama? hannah montana? :D

Outside_ofthe_Box4364d ago (Edited 4364d ago )

lol, I find that extremely hilarious because those are the type of games my sisters play. Granted they are on 11 and 14 years of age.

I have met a handful of girls through my times playing Killzone 2 though. Few of which that were in fact better than me and I consider myself good player.

If she could, my girlfriend would crotch punch you for that.

I've noticed an increase in the amount of times I hear a woman's voice in my ear while playing games in the past year.

Although that could be down to moving in with my missus and ignoring the washing machine...

It's a murder mystery alright, just without the murder.

Shadonic4364d ago

apparently my adviser from high school and a couple of the girls in my high school are playing games.

Are they talking about real games or do lamo cell phone "games" count? If it counts phone games then yea i can see how this can be but if its doesnt count them then its really interesting.

ElementX4364d ago

Well of course they're the fastest growing demographic, every other demographic already plays games, except maybe the elderly.

DeadlyFire4364d ago

woah. You havn't seen grandma play mario on the Wii yet? They are pushing Wii to retirement homes for elderly to play.

ShaunCameron4364d ago (Edited 4364d ago )

And how many of them own a console? Other than mothers buying it for their (male) kids, I barely see females at a video game store or the video games section of a retail store.

For the record, Nintendo seem to have a pretty large female fanbase.

Rather play with a female player, than a obnoxious 12 year old yelling on the mic.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues
