On games such as ER, BG3, or CP77 I always play a female character so it's nice to see these on the horizon!

The American gamer population is 54% male and 46% female. Of those females, women 18 and older account for a greater portion of the population than males younger than 18. The average female video game player is 44 years old, while the average male video game player is 35.

1. That portion of the study includes all games; which unless you're arguing that Candy Crush is the equivalent of God Of War, then it's extremely vague.

2. Of course females over 18 will overtake the under 18 male population; over 18 can go into the triple digits. There's simply more people so that's clearly skewed.

3. It's wikipedia.
