The reality is this: the age of the average gamer? 12? 15? Nah, it's 35 years old . 44% of them are female, so it's not the sausage-fest we've been led to believe either. In fact, there are twice as many women over the age of 18 playing games, then there are boys under that age. It is true, however, that they all live in their parent's basement and only stop gaming long enough to masturbate to My Little Pony. There's a grain of truth to everything, I suppose. Considering how poorly the media has portrayed gamers over the years, it should be no surprise that they've also failed miserably at catering to this huge and profitable demographic in other forms of entertainment.
