Let's have a look! Stats for 2023.
Average age is 33.7 years old. 77.3% male, 22.7% female.
A few people were spot on!

could you help us understand how the stats are gathered? Is it based on self-reporting, or does do big data tying like our registered email to phone number to publicly available demographic info?

I wasn't too far off. Actually I'm surprised there's even more females than I thought.

If it's the latter we could make a poll to see how accurate it is. Would be interesting to see.

... considering retrogaming threads are full of old farts from Atari era, and girls already ran away at the umpteenth "Why I can't fap over female characters in western games?“

In all seriousness though, isnt odd that more females than ever are gamers (we're told) and a majority of females are the key demographic for social 'media' yet on one of the main gaming forums around it's only a small percentage of females..
Are forums seen as a bad thing by females where as instagram/Tiktok (or some other dross) is better?
Seems odd but there you have it.

Interesting! Thought the average age was 40 years old for sure
And also, not much of an increase of females for the past 2 years as I would've thought

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
All the incels who are actually afraid and antagonistic towards women left.

Definitely younger than what I was expecting. When threads regarding first games played or older hardware even older than SNES are discussed, I feel like one toddler accidentally crashed into a party with people much wiser than me.
I think I’ve said it in the past before but I really like the older demographic in gaf because they are very informative and I feel like I’m constantly learning new stuff just by browsing.
edit:
Found them. 1 2
I appreciate you.

Did you just assume my gender? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Also, this demographic chart doesn't account for how many albinos are living in their parent's basement. Are we sure we can continue to call NeoGAF a gaming forum without this extremely pertinent information?

This is primarily a PC/console gaming forum, and that is still overwhelmingly male.

I guess I just just never thought the M:F ratio was ever that high, much less back when this was like the #1 driver of traffic to the site of she who shan’t be named.

Well to be honest they may not identify as female.

Are these stats of "active" users who post regularly or the total number?
I was expecting a higher male to female ratio and an older population if you consider only active users given that forums in general are a dying breed of the internet culture.
Any chance of getting the top 5/10 countries?

I nailed the age guess!
Also, 22% of y'all are females? That's great, I always just assumed it was more of a 90/10 or worse split. Video games (and NeoGAF) are for everyone!

Well yes, thats a given, you're just stating the obvious, but why? Over the past few years we've been told that more females than ever are gaming, girl power, Anita sarkeesian putting her point in etc etc, so why are they not getting involved in gaming sites such as this?

Just from what I see from my sisters, they prefer places where they can also find something else other than gaming. Reddit and Facebook are most adjacent while I've also seen them use Twitter to find gaming news along with their other interest like Kpop. Discord also gets used more often as it is also used for their school work.

It's great to see such a young demographic on here (me included LOL)

I know about a handful of women who game regularly and they all refuse to be part of online communities unless they're majority female or at least partially made up of people they know IRL. They also don't use online handles that give away their gender.
Thought that shit was over the top until my 12 year-old cousin got a PS4 and her dad set up a PSN account for her that included her name so she could play Fortnite. The shit her inbox got flooded with after a single day made her parents pull the plug on that pretty quickly until I showed them how to filter out messages from people not on her friends list.

I was .3 years off on the average age, not too bad.
But where exactly are all these so called "females"? Lol. I thought for sure it would be 95% male or more.
