Finding an infographic about the part of the games industry I am going into was challenging. So challenging I could not find one. So, I have chosen a more generic infographic to analyze.
The average age of the games consumer, according to the figure above, is 31 years old; This can be important when you are developing a game as some aspects of the game may not be captivating to that audience. Of course, nobody says you have to target the average video game player.
An interesting thing that many may not seem important is that 45 percent of all players identify as female; This, to me, is interesting as games are, generally, not targeted toward women, and if they are, they are for small children.
Though targeting games toward women would likely backfire, as it could many would see it as pandering, many women do not play games that use this sort of targeting.
