Standard women in gaming developing are underrepresented so is the fault of the patriarchy because this theory gives us the most power so we will not consider any other reason. Boring.
What I did find interesting in the article is that women being 41% of gamers seems odd, how come it drops from 50%?
From the same study, networking games, 34% of boys play daily vs 8% of girls, weekly 33% of boys vs 10% of girls, and girls make a smaller portion to begin with 84% of boys and 59% of girls. So 56% of boys play daily or weekly and 10% of girls play daily/ weekly. So 85% of players are boys and 15% of players are girls.
So while the article mentions 41% of gamers are girls, this includes phones ofc, only 15% of players that play networking games are girls. While a lot more then I expected still overwhelmingly most online players are male. And I expect that most of the girl online players play games like Among Us.
