Think about it; if a person, or a gamer in this case, is extremely involved in their game, they probably won’t have the will to step out of their home in the first place. With the exception of snack breaks and work, performing a mass shooting has no room on their schedule. This is often the case in an average day of a young gamer, which points to the evidence…

times out of ten you’ll get the same response- teenaged boys. When we think of gaming and gamers, we think of a gaggle of pimple-faced, adolescent boys eating Doritos and screaming at each other over kill shots on Halo or Gears of War.

Since there is so few female eSports athletes, there are few role models for young female gamers to aspire to be like and perform better than. Majority of female eSports athletes live in Asia, with a large amount hailing from South Korea (Zaremba, 2012). In fact, Paaßen, B., Morgenroth, T. & Stratemeyer, M. found in their article What is a True Gamer? The Male Gamer Stereotype and the Marginalization of Women in Video Game Culture that “among e-sports athletes, there are almost…

I have seen worlds that are so unbelievable that it made me decide to make my own videogame. Many gamers just want a game that looks nice, has a good story, is fun, challenging, or all of the above.
