I'm also a 29 year old childless white man working in the games industry and yes, the numbers and discussion surrounding the demographics of games workers are accurate. The problem is, it doesn't prove the premise made in the article.
The argument being made is that game are bland and homogenous because they're made by childless white men. The childless white men the article is talking about aren't actually making the decisions about anything that goes into the game. They are assembly line workers, not management. You could replace them all with an outsourced team from India or hire an all female team and the only thing that would change is the bug count and level of productivity.
The end product would remain the same because it's being driven by executives.
