I remember when they took a group photo of all the people involved with the racing games at Codemasters. Around 600 of us... someone commented, "who are all these people?". Well, programmers (AI/Phyisic/Audio/etc), Artists, Sound Engineers, Producers, HR...
And there were women as well. Yes, that's right, women develop games as well. There's one of my team.
I've been trying to find the original study from Circana but all I can find are mentions of it, does anyone have the link to it?
Looks like these are choice stats from Cricana's forthcoming Market Dynamics In Gaming 2023 report which, annoyingly, doesn't yet appear to have actually been published yet. I suppose it'll be announced at https://www.circana.com/press-releases/ when it actually comes out.
I'm just waiting for the YouTube react series. Gamers go apoplectic over statistics.

If candy crush counts, my mom is more of a gamer than me
I would not trust Kotaku.
Two Words: Animal Crossing
Not just that but the Switch has a lot of lovely indie games that are popular among women (Gris, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Spiritfarer, Cult of the Lamb). Also Hades, but everyone likes Hades.
