"Adult female gamers have unseated boys under the age of 18 as the largest video game-playing demographic in the U.S., according to a recently published study from the Entertainment Software Association, a trade group focused the U.S. gaming industry."
"Simulation games like “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” and “Candy Crush Saga” make headlines for the massive amounts of revenue that they manage to rake in, but the kinds of games that women are playing were found to vary widely, including endless runner games such as “Temple Run,” brain teasers such as “QuizUp” and traditional card games."
It seemed for the longest time that boys liked playing video games more then tv, school or being outside.
But Adult females are hooked on gaming? [maybe hooked is too strong a word]
Who could predict that? If this is true, talk about a social change.
