Study debunks bad gamer image

People who play video games have better family lives, are more social and make more money than people who do not, according to two new studies.

The Canadian and American studies dispel stereotypes surrounding gamers -- largely that they are solitary, overweight teenagers who are wasting their time. According to the Canadian study, one in two Canadians can be considered a gamer, having actively played video games within the past month.

Fanboy's and fangirls need to get a life. Unless your under 12 years old and have nothing to do but bash others. Also, gaming is an expensive hobby so people who play games must have jobs.

I mean all the young gamers when video games were coming out are now in their 40's at least and there is no doubt that most of them still play, and now their kids do, in 10 - 15 years I'm guessing around %80 of the North American population will be a "gamer". Gamer in the sense of this article though, as in played a video game in the last month. The ratio of "harcore" gamers to "regular" gamers will drop though.
