Title: Gamers More Likely To Be Social, Educated Than Non-Gamers
Post by: Freddy on June 17, 2014, 19:46:01 PM

QuoteIf you had to visualize someone who self-describes as a "gamer," what would you see? A 13 year old boy who doesn't have many friends? A college student who prefers playing games on his futon to going to class? An overweight guy in his 40s living in his parents' basement? Let's face it: the stereotypes for gamers aren't glamorous. However, a new report based on a survey by LifeCourse Associates for the gaming site Twitch has found that gamers have more positive attributes than their non-gamer counterparts.

It's all true, every word of it, apart from the bit where it says people that play Candy Crush are gamers, that might be pushing it a bit too far :LOL:

Good read :thumbsup:
