    Statistically, white men still dominate the video game space in terms of who is playing, making, starring, and writing about games.

    Starring in, surely.

      who is playing

      This is either wrong or misleading. Women make up 48% of gamers. That isn’t quite a majority, but men certainly aren’t dominating either. When you throw race as a demographic into this maybe it changes or maybe they just relied on how they feel about it, but I think it’s misleading either way.

        Does this include Candy Crush an mobile gaming in general? I’d say that people who play something on their phone every now and then won’t be foaming from their mouths because of something like this. Then again, they don’t buy the games that we’re talking about here so that’s why I’m asking (I checked your link but couldn’t find this info)
