Who is the Average Online Gamer?

September 25, 2013

Think all gamers are teenage boys who lock themselves in their rooms to play against their friends in online battles into the early hours of the morning? Think again – social media site Pixwoo.com commissioned a survey to discover who the average gamer really is, with some surprisingly results.

The results of the survey showed that women are just as likely to be avid gamers as men. The average gamer will spend 12 hours a week on their console or computer, they earn around $34,000 per year, and they are married with a child. Not only do teenage boys not get a look in on the survey, the ideas revealed signify a huge departure from the idea of a conventional gamer.

Nikolai Veselov, of MyRealGames.com, a successful and popular free online gaming site, says, “The statistics regarding the average gamer seem to be a huge surprise to many people, but at MyRealGames.com we have been providing games that satisfy an older audience as well as female gamers for a long time. Our more female-themed games such as Cake Shop 2 and Jojo’s Fashion Show are just as popular as the titles more attractive to teen boys, including Nuclear Bike 2 and Alien Shooter. Gaming is for everyone, and our site reflects that with its multitude of diverse and varying titles.”

Demonstrating how appealing games can be to mass audiences of both men and women, adults and children, the ‘Match 3’ games on the online gaming website have proven to be incredible popular in recent years. The familiar game play and craving to progress through the levels as quickly and successfully as possible have made games such as Space Bubbles and Jewel Quest some of the most popular games on MyRealGames.com.

Where unisex games are concerned, there are also a number of online puzzle games and hidden object titles that attract just as many women as men. Solving puzzles, getting to the bottom of mysteries and watching intricate stories play out is not a gender-specific activity, and both men and women, young or old can enjoy exciting games such as Farmscapes, The Lost Inca Prophecy and Murder in New York.

As far as age goes, many of the titles available from MyRealGames.com are not specific to certain age groups. The appeal of Tetris-style games such as Color Cubes, or realistic sports games like Billiard Masters and Bowling Masters are cross-generational, and can just as easily be enjoyed by a teenage boy as they can by a Grandma who loves to enjoy a spot of gaming between her crosswords and her knitting.

No membership or registration is required to play any of the games available at MyRealGames.com.
