I don't get on Facebook as often as I used to but whenever I do I get endless stupid ads. I saw an ad about gaming and how women make up almost half of all the gamers. I could swear I heard that men make up about 80% of gamers. Can someone clarify that? There are plenty of women who enjoy gaming, and I would've loved it if the women I've dated had been gamers. I do see the gaming industry doing the same thing as other industries in our current era. Over obsess about diversity/representation while crapping on your main block of customers.

They consider your 90 year grandma that plays Candy Crush to be a gamer.
When they use the term "gamer" they include people who primarily play mobile games which many, including myself, would not consider actual gamers. I believe it was somewhere in the high 90 percent range that mobile games are played by women.
If you are only talking about console and PC gaming then yes, well over 80% of the gamer base are men.
