Biggest Online Gamers? Women Over 40

Biggest Online Gamers? Women Over 40 02/10/2004 09:17 PM
While the general impression most people have of online gamers is teenaged boys shooting each other in digitized worlds, it turns out that it's women over the age of 40 who spend the most time playing online games. The women who regularly play video games say it takes away from other activities such as "watching TV or movies, reading or being physically active." Even more interesting, those women gamers are night owls. Over 25% are found online between midnight and 5am. Of course, as you might guess, the type of games played tend more towards puzzle and word games, but it still might not be what you'd expect. So, forget the early 20s male gamer, when do we see sponsorship opportunities for the over 40 female gamers?

Middle-Aged 06/10/2004 02:57 PM
There's no shortage of articles on the video game industry targeting non-gamers (usually women) as the next new market for games. But you'd think that the industry might want to avoid calling their new target market "bored housewives" even if it's in jest. Looking beyond the "bored housewives" market, though, the next target for video games may be therapeutic games for kids and the middle-aged. Really just a subset of educational games, therapeutic games can train people to overcome their fears, relax from stress, or teach kids to cope with their ADD -- and are probably a bit more lucrative than learning how to touchtype.

Matrix online game hires real actors to
play in-game characters 03/25/2005 06:33 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Matrix Online (a massively multiplayer online game based on the Matrix franchise) has hired a troupe of 20 actors to hang around in game and in character, advancing the story and generally making it all seem more disbelief-suspendingly real.

Since the close of the beta, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that it has employed a troupe of 20-odd people whose job it will be to enact narrative scenarios in The Matrix Online live. These people will assume the roles of popular characters, interact with players, and generally move the stories in ways that only live "actors" can. And though it appears that the story hasn't officially commenced, a few players on the Method server were treated to a pretty slick sample of it this afternoon: an extended pep-talk by none other than Morpheus himself. (See the screenshots for proof.) But this is an Out of the Box report, so here are our first impressions of the game so far.

Look At That: There Are Women Online Too

Look At That: There Are Women Online Too 04/29/2004 02:42 PM
Not quite sure that this is really all that surprising, but Yahoo! has put together a study (mainly targeted at their advertisers) pointing out that women actually use the internet too. In fact, it's the "leading media of choice" among women, and overall comes only after work, sleep, and spending time with family as being the most important time spent. The study notes that women use the internet at work, and are good at multitasking - having work-related and non-work-related sites open at the same time and flipping back and forth between the two. They found that women believe surfing non-work sites at work is fine, since they tend to do more work outside of the office as well - and they're also spending more time at the office. The folks at Yahoo! seem positively shocked that women (gasp!) actually use search as well. "The other thing that I think that was a revelation [for us] and that has been a common consensus is that women are task-oriented, but this research shows that they do use the Internet for searching and browsing--it's not just for destination-related activities." And to think, before this, Yahoo! apparently thought that only men used search. Maybe all the women have been over at Google...

Online Marketers Try To Understand Women

Online Marketers Try To Understand Women 05/05/2004 12:04 AM
Amazing. Last week we joked about Yahoo realizi ng that women use the internet too, and now Salon has an article on the same conference looking at exactly how to market to women online. In both cases the conference comes off as this sort of stunning world where it turns out to be a surprise that women actually use the internet. Why is this so shocking? Even more to the point, why is it so surprising that you can't classify all women into a single group? Did marketers really assume that all women only went online to research cleaning products? It's pretty sad that a conference was needed to explain all this, and it will be even sadder watching these same marketers try to take these "lessons" and turn them into new advertisements for women. At the end of the Salon article there's quite a telling quote. A young woman is asked: "How do you feel about Yahoo trying to get into your life?" She responds: "They pay you enough, and you don't care." Welcome to the internet. Advertising isn't about intrusiveness and annoying people, it's about giving people something of value - whether monetarily or otherwise.
