I am so glad that Mat pointed out the huge genderfication of games. I'm a woman, and although I do enjoy Stardew Valley and the Sims 4, I ADORE Skyrim, Fallout 4, and The Long Dark. They were all marketed as male games, and TLD only had a male option to play as. But, I grew up with Skyrim, GTA V, Fallout games, and all different kinds of fighting games like Mortal Kombat and the like. I am so happy, and I hope that his assumption with the gaming market changing is true. It would make my whole existence to know that my siblings and my kids wont be subjected to American propaganda. I am even hopeful that this will help other companies realize that they can get more money and have less hassle, simply be not gendering their products, experiences, and companies as a whole.

I don't believe it's a forced split, just statistics on who plays those games more. Even with the arena of valor game it's still a 54-46 split which is pretty close. I don't believe anyone is saying this game is only for a certain gender, the stats are just stating who plays it more.

I have a game recommendation, its peaceful and pretty, and has some lore, and requires a bit of research as there is some old content that can't be accessed anymore. Also every person you see is a player. So MatPat, I suggest you check it out, you could make a possible theory over it. Its called Sky: Children of The Light.

The main gripe with this video is Mat being "surprised" that other countries exist, but rather, I think this video just goes to show that the English speaking side of youtube has been boxed in by the big three markets (japan, us, and europe) and I feel it's a valuable lesson. I'm Jamaican, and so much of my experience being mostly socialized through the internet primes me to be being oriented to think that way, because the english speaking audience just, tends not to interact with other regions and I think that a big name mentioning this will help better globalize the youtube experience and let all of us smaller countries feel a little bit more seen online.
@Lion10104

It more has to do with the fact that we have better games and freedoms that allow us to have a diverse range of games that fit our personal preferences. Meanwhile in those countries they are heavily restricted as to what they can play as well as the availability of games, so all the people who download games only have a limited pool to choose from and hence there being that many downloads of those games as well as a more equal gender balance in it, due to them not having a choice as to what they can to pick that fits their personal preferences. Imagine the only vegetable in your grocery store are potatoes, well your going to have a disproportionate amount of people buying potatoes if you just look at the data and compare it to another country that has a diverse range of vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers etc.

I think it's funny how other Americans never knew about it. It's extremely obvious that third world countries and/or countries with a predominantly poor population would have gaming catered to them. I think it's extremely closed minded of him to have not considered that these vast populations of poor people could 1. game, and 2. have internet access. It'll ever hit people in the US or Europe because there's just not a large enough impovershed audiance.

The more i learn about game preferences between men and women, the more i feel its about in which social enviroments they play games. And then the trends make more sense quick. Men play games in their "man cave" on their computers or consoles. Wimen play games in more open social situations, thus more couch co-op or mobile phone focused. This also leads to the fitting trends i see with gender distributions in games, more then the game type itsself.

Honestly, you made me remember this game. I had forgotten everything about it, I remember my whole class of primary school used to play that after they came back home from school, even my best friend. I downloaded it once and then never played it again. The only thing I remember is us on the lobby rolling around on snowballs, it was some kind of Christmas update that they had forgotten to take down. They eventually did take it down, I think ,I’m not sure though never stuck around for that long.

@@sparcey8092 well, there is a science to sampling, and some parts of society have gotten pretty good at figuring it out, but I feel the game industry is quite far behind on that still, and the marketing, particularly in mobile games, is a great example, where the target is relatively small but they use a huge blanket to get to and find it, and it's almost all about the money, in sort of a sneaky way. MatPat has talked about that a bit before, but I feel like it kind of applies here too, just in a different way. I know nothing is going to be perfect, but I feel we can at least try a little bit harder, and I find it interesting to see what we as Americans are often blind to because of our media consumption.

And though people are playing freefire because of they have phones with 2gb ram, that's changing as more and more games are coming to mobile. Apex legends mobile nearly looks like apex legend pc and people with 3gb ram or more prefer more graphics heavy games like CODM or pubgm/BGMI that's why freefire Dev recently made a high end version of freefire.

Guessed that it may be honour of the kings, I play that game and the average wait time for ranking or casual is literally 2 seconds, in comparison to my experience on League which at the longest was like 10 mins on the Oceania server on a weekend afternoon. I feel like wait time for a game to start and game length (HOG's average of 20 mins vs LOL's 40 mins) are important deciding factors for these kinds games, and whether or not a player will stay in that player base for extended periods of time beyond just testing the waters.

Can't believe matpat himself is talking about this games like mobile legends,crossfire,ROS etc. Are really popular here in the Philippines and it's neighbors because there are a lot of low-end gamers and these games are like the most optimized games ever.And the reason why they became so popular is because games like lol:wild rift and CODM didn't exist back in the day so the people who wanted to play them played these games instead since they are identical to those games that they wanted to play.

Yeah...most of us here in the states were well aware that the gaming industry is different all over the world. Did you forget that the American gaming industry was largely run by Japan for many years? I also find it quite humorous that you would use a wide brush to paint all Americans while asking us not to do the same to you. That's called hypocrisy...
