Pull the average guy out of the collective American gaming community and youll probably have a fat 35-year-old whos also feeling the blues. At least, thats what the academic mash-up of the CDC, Emory University, and Andrews University asserts as a hypothesis.
Serious Business
Its easy to believe something, especially when the results of a scientific study confirm common sense. Consider:
- Gamers can afford top-of-the-line equipment = job = young professional
- Gamers spend the whole day in front of the computer/console = lack of physical activity
- Gamers would rather spend hours finishing that irritatingly difficuly boss, than go out = lack of social interaction
Yes sirree, thats one plus and two very big minuses.
