How Many Gamers Use PC Over Consoles?

The debate between PC and console gaming remains a hot topic. As technology advances and gaming preferences diversify, understanding the current landscape of gamer preferences is essential. So, how many gamers use PC over consoles? Let’s delve into the statistics to paint a clearer picture. Key Statistics: According to a 2023 survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), 49% of gamers…

Hi! My name is Annie and I am an undergraduate at the University of Bath doing my dissertation on attitudes to cybercrime in the gamer community. If you are 16-25 and play at least 1 hour of online games per week, I'd really appreciate it if you could fill out this 10-minute survey :)

Historically, any quantitative analysis of trans and non-binary gamers would run into the practical issue of small sample size. ... Then, in any analysis of gender in that hypothetical survey, if a trans or non-binary response option was provided, that category would have to be excluded from analysis due to small sample size. If a trans or non-binary category wasn’t provided in the survey, then those gamers would be included in the gender analysis, but incorrectly categorized. Neither option is good, but paradoxically, it’s the option that explicitly recognizes trans and non-binary gamers that typically ends up excluding them from analysis.

Because we’ve always included an open-ended gender response option in the Gamer Motivation Profile, and because we’ve collected data from over 1.25 million gamers since 2015, we realized we had a substantial sample of trans and non-binary gamers in our data set, sufficient for analysis.

For this analysis, to provide a more specific and consistent sample for interpretation, we analyzed only gamers in the US. Altogether, we had a sample of 13,595 trans and non-binary gamers, collected between June 2015 and January 2023. Among these respondents, the vast majority (92%) identified using a term under the non-binary umbrella (e.g., gender fluid, genderqueer, nb, demiboy/girl, androgyne, neutrois) and the remaining identified specifically as transgender (e.g., MTF, transfemale) or a combination of the two (e.g., “non-binary trans feminine”).

...

Trans and Non-Binary Gamer Motivations Aren’t A Linear Mixture of Male & Female Motivations

Tumblr, Could You Help a Solodev Out with her Steam Page Visibility? :)

Context:

Hi Tumblr, hope you are doing well this weekend! :) I am an solo game developer who is working on my first published passion project, A Winter Haunting! :) It's a 2D point-and-click haunted game, which I started developing this past December (2023), and it is to be released this December (2024). Due to the tight deadline I gave myself, I consider solo developing a part-time (sometimes full-time!) job, in addition to my existing 7-3 job. Unfortunately, one of the things a lot of indies, like me, struggle with -- is marketing and visibility.

Request:

So with that, I was curious to know -- could you please do any of the following? A) Like this post B) Reblog this post C) Add some discussion comments on my steam page D) Wishlist the game (if you are interested?)

Any help would be appreciated, thank you so much and hope you are all having a great weekend! :')

gamers, I need to know: if a character in a book is described as having skin that's "light golden brown," what are you picturing?

no wrong answers and reference photos are welcome (my housemates both individually pulled up pictures of Zendaya when I asked them lmao). I swear there is a reason I'm asking, and this is not a gotcha for anyone; I'm just trying to see how well the authorial intent lines up with actual perception of this description.

edit: it's been pointed out that knowing about this character's other features would be helpful, so:

hair is "just a few shades darker than the skin" with "flaxen streaks" (implied to be from extensive sun exposure)

eyes are "darker than the hair"

Hi, gamers. I know the results of the Sandwich Poll have been gnawing at you. So many people wondering whether they answered correctly, which as a reminder is a very important factor in determining which afterlife you end up in when you die. Please understand that I needed a lot of time to internally process these poll results and also that I've been kinda busy/tired. But the people need to know, so here we go.

In total, we received 372 responses. I also spent a lot of my weekend annoying anyone who would listen to me in person about these questions, but I didn't write those answers down.

Question 1 was fairly non-controversial, as it should be. It is worth noting that 3.2% of respondents chose to write-in an answer, and most of these write-in answers were what scientists would call "bad" and "not really useful." So you can assume a 3.2% margin of error on everything in this survey. That's how statistics works.

Question 2 is where we see a real divide. Most respondents consider a sandwich cut into two separate but equal pieces to be one sandwich. This is a real shame, because it's the wrong answer. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Question 3 considers whether one piece of bread cut in half and used for sandwich-making results in a sandwich, and surprisingly the majority of respondents do consider this to be one sandwich. This is really interesting, because despite ending up with functionally and aesthetically the same result as one of the pieces of the sandwich from question 2, a significant number of respondents believe the results to be inherently different. I wish there was a way to better track how much overlap there was for those two seemingly contradictory answers, but the big Sheets page Google Docs is daunting and I don't feel like figuring out how to parse that data, so we just need to accept that we'll never have that exact number. That's how statistics works.

Question 4 mostly just cements the findings of the previous two questions. I do want to point out the one person who answered "who the fuck does this". Sandwich shops do this. Go to a sandwich shop for once in your life and really watch them do their work. Open your eyes.

Question 5 did not get me a lot of useful data, as it turns out having a question that only allowed for write-in answers was a bad idea. However, there are more or less two camps for people who really took these questions seriously and gave it their all. The first school of thought suggests that intent is the most important factor, and if you deem what you've made to be a sandwich, it's a sandwich. While I appreciate the critical thinking on display here, I believe in the other school of thought, which is that when you put ingredients between two breads that's a sandwich, baby. There is a sub-school of thought here that requires those two pieces to be whole pieces, but that's wrong.

One question that I should have included in the survey I think proves my point. If you order a sandwich platter from a deli and they use a single really long piece of bread (think like a several foot long hero) into multiple sections, you would say that you have sandwiches, plural. If you wanted to grab one, you wouldn't say "I'm going to grab a 64th of a sandwich" because you would sound deranged. Despite being parts of a larger whole, they are still ingredients between pieces of bread, and thus fit the definition of "sandwich."

Anyway, thank you for coming on this non-gaming detour with me. It was extremely important that I prove a friend wrong on this topic, and even though I don't think I did that and I think he's choosing to double down on his incorrect opinions, I'm still choosing to spin this as a personal and moral victory. New actual DidYouGamings will come out as soon as I discover any new facts about video games (right now there's only a couple hundred facts about video games at all and I've basically covered all of them.)
