Internet service provider AOL, once-parent and now-child of multimedia multinational Time Warner, released a study yesterday about the demographics of overall online gaming. According to the study, women over the age of 40 spend the most time of any demographic group playing games online.
AOL said women over the age of 40 spend nearly 50 percent more time each week playing online games than men, and play online games on a daily basis more often than men or younger gamers. The fortysomethings' genre of choice was puzzle and word games, and their favorite time to play was between Midnight and 5 a.m.
Another finding was 44 percent of the 40-plus women surveyed often forwent reading, exercise, and watching TV or movies in order to play games. Of those women who forged new friendships while playing, 20 percent said their friendships extended into the offline world.
Way to go mom!
