Isn't it a myth that women don't play as much? If I recall correctly, they just don't play the same games.

Much like women-dominated professions, their choices tend to end up labeled "not real games". Cozy games, social games, mobile arcade à la Candy Crush, etc. You need that exclusionary lens applied to what is a game to then get a tally where women comparatively don't play.

Not even sure this is true. Perhaps a skew toward survival horror.

OK, here's a 2024 survey:

Deloitte says women prefer solo story-driven games and dislike multiplayer.
