From the incredible
Bill Harris's Dubious QualityMaybe ten years ago someone could have claimed that people who play games and people who don't represent two separate countries. Today, though, it would be more accurate to say that the people who don't play games live on an island, and that island is shrinking every day.
Add to that stat that
69% of heads of households play video and computer games as well as everything else that comes with it, and I'm a happy camper. No longer on the fringe.
There was a bit of flavor text in Assassin's Creed that was a news story lamenting the closing of the last Hollywood movie studio as more people turn to interactive media for entertainment. Probably not realistic (who doesn't love some passive entertainment?) but still fun.
