Despite the hype, only ~1 in 20 people globally play games regularly. Most revenue comes from mobile games, not big titles like Elden Ring or Zelda.

"Hardcore" gamers are a vocal minority, the average person doesn’t own a console, and many adults don’t game at all.

It's a massive industry, yes, but not a universal hobby.

well even if your data is factual thats still too popular. I want normalfags to get out. There were already too many of them before 2007 when global internet usage exploded.

1 in 20 eh. You realize a majority of the world are old right? That 1 in 20 will become 1 in 15 within 10 years.

>regularly
define regularly?
is that based on frequency? hours? what?

saying only 1/20 people do it regularly without is irrelevant without defining what that means.

I bet these figures are taking literally the entire adult population into account and if you restrict them to under 35 and under the numbers skyrocket.

What's the data look like if we exclude mobileshit and gachaslop? Hell, throw out anything related to games with battle passes or loot boxes as well.

1 in 20 with a high skew towards younger people where it's more like 1 in 8 since the 40+ gaming audience is microscopic and the 50+ gaming audience is virtually invisible. Ignoring that it's actually more than 1 in 20 as the baseline, that means out of every 8 strangers you meet, one of them plays video games.
>not a universal hobby
You do not have a hobby which is more universally propagated. You do not attend college courses with 12 people in your lecture hall that also build models. You do not go to beaches where there is an over 10% chance that each person plays baseball.

That’s why they try so hard to appeal to a “modern audience”. One little crumb of the larger population and you’re doing GTA numbers, hundreds of millions.
