A lot of the recent polls have revealed that around 60% of the people who visit this site don't actually play any video games which can explain a lot about how the site has aged over the past 7 years.

Nah, it just demonstrates how many people enjoy their niche games instead of playing the big AAA releases.

They don't play "those" games that have been polled, so obviously they must not play games at all!

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

I don't play As much as I used to though, so I think there might be some truth to it.

It's not just the games. Over the past year the polls have been do you own a certain console, have you played this series, will you buy this, etc. I haven't seen a poll where the I don't own or haven't played or will buy this where the bottom option isn't below 50%.

lol...? I don't think you understand how that works. If less than 50% own an xbone and less than 50% own a ps4, that doesn't automatically mean less than 50% are gaming. It could mean you have less than 50% gaming on one and less than 50% gaming on the other, meaning that over 90% are gaming.

The idea that most people play everything is generally stupid and completely untrue. I've never played a Madden, but I've played almost every main series Pokemon game to come out so far, for instance. And a lot of Madden fans have never played a Pokemon game. (Assuming Madden is even a top sports franchise any more, which I don't know because I don't play sports games.)

But if you don't own a PC, an Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo device, how are you playing games? I mean even the poll about Smartphones was surprising!

I'm not much of a gamer anymore, but I do love my SNES Classic. I hate modern gaming. The industry, the culture, the games, everything, with few exceptions.

Um, by turning on one of my Sega, Atari, Coleco, Texas Instruments, or NEC systems?

I have 1000 people.

300 only own an Xbox One

300 only own a PS4

250 only own a PC

150 only own a Switch

So in every single one of the polls, the "I do not own it" would be the overwhelming top choice. 70+% of those 1000 people will pick it. However, 100% of those 1000 people play games.

That is why the numbers of people who do not own a console or a specific game are high. Because people don't buy everything.

Why do you think it's the same people voting "I don't own *system*" in all of those polls?

I prefer older games over this new cashcow generation. But I really don't game as much as I used to anymore. I'm always either on YouTube or on the gamefaqs boards.

You also have to factor in that not everyone votes in the polls. Half the time if someone starts a topic about the POTD I have to go check the main page to see what they are talking about.

Modern gaming is shit by and large, and I have no patience for microtransactions or the like in my games, they wait for a steam sale where I can get them for under ten bucks.
