There's something to be said about kicking back after a long day and playing a solid video game. Letting all your responsibilities melt away while blasting aliens in the face with a bazooka or dominating your buddies in a word game is endless fun, but if you've ever spent any amount of time lurking around in the gaming community, you'll know that there's a connotation that it's very male dominate.

This is something that Google wants to address with a new initiative called "Change the Game."

Google partnered with Newzoo to take a look at the presence of women in the gaming space, and the results just might surprise you. The study showed that 65% of all women play mobile games of some sort, and women are actually more active mobile gamers compared to men with 43% of women playing games for more than five days each week compared to just 38% of men doing the same thing.

It's clear that a lot of women enjoy playing mobile games, but when it comes to the industry itself, the numbers aren't nearly as high. Google discovered that just 24.8% of workers in the gaming industry identify as either female or transgender, and likely as a result of this, only a mere 30% of women feel that games being released are made for them.
