> Average gamer is 31 years old > 48% of gamers are female > 71% of gamers are 18 or older > 53% of gamers play games on their smartphones > While the percentage of female gamers has increased, that has been primarily due to the rise of mobile games, which often do not have characters. Combining "mobile" gamers with PC/Console gamers is like combining chess players with professional wrestlers. Just because a lot of women play Candy Crush, doesn't mean that you need all PC and console games to have female protagonists 50% of the time. I think the real problem here is that there are a few female gamers that go online and just get offended by the same thing male gamers say to each other all the time. Maybe online games should have a 'politically correct' section where easily offended people could go and play.
