Gender and Games

Notes on Gender and Games

• Video games are more focus on men, surveys have shown that the population of people who play games are men and only a small percentage behind me are women.

• Games have been expanding every year introducing new audiences, men and women. But when it comes to market, the game industries focus more towards men.

• Women seem to prefer to play more casual games. Casual games such indie games have a low budget and others compared to big 'Named' games such as Halo. Whereas Halo games are a big number of female players.

• The new population and rising of women gamers is new to the gaming industry as they have only focused on the men. But this isn't a bad thing, the games industry have noticed this and are taking advantage of this.

• The games industry advertisement towards men will soon be towards men and women. Soon gaming will be a big mix gender entrainment, instead of seeing gamers as nerds.
