That’s why I said we need a different category

there already is mobile games, still games but targeted at different demographics

I don't say FPS aren't games because I'm don't like them or play them

Ah, I take it back, this study pointedly omitted "social games" so the farmvilles etc, so the family/farm sims are probably not facebook games in this study.

It's like saying someone who plays chess is a jock

it would be like The Sims and Harvest Moon

I've no idea what you crazy kids are talking about.
A video game is 1 line vs 1 line with a circle going back and forth.
*Stopped counting after the first day*
*Yes i know this wasn't the first first game*

Stardew Valley or whatever it was, was popular as hell for a good while

I do want to try that game out I do like a little Harvest Moon when chilling

The same thing but horizontal was the first game

There was another interesting study comparing Chinese gamers and Western gamers. They found Chinese men and women who game play for the same reasons. While western male and female gamers played for the opposite reasons.

I like Stardew valley, I got addicted to Harvest Moon and the stupid real time feature forced me to quit

I would love a system to play Harvest Moon on again.

used to play the original Harvest Moon in the day

Yeah, the Chinese market is completely different

I thought I was pretty into it, but wow my Mother was really dedicated to that game

she had the whole farm planted with corn she had all the bell plant thingys everything

They found Chinese women have near identical motivations to Chinese men (with small differences). I guess communism worked 😛

I can't picture my mom playing video games of any kind

I want more Harvest Moon games that looked like 64. Kind of cutesy. But I suppose it was one of those things that made it unique for its time

I loved Back To Nature

That game was so damn good

My sister liked the Sims

me and my mother would play games till late every night when I was a kid, staying up to 2am was a common occurrence then waking up for school at 7am

Had it for the PS1

I forget the names of the ones i played.

no wonder i started drinking coffee at 9

Back to Nature was good

there was another one Wonderful life for Gamecube/ps2 that was interesting it used a moveable camera

The only one I ever played was Back to Nature

I think I should still have it somewhere

Pics or it didn't happen.

Being a big grand strategy fan I'm surprised a whole 7% of players are women

lol

Rune Factory games are quite good too

Harvest moon mixed with dungeon crawler

i think there's a new one coming for Switch soon too

My Time at Portia is apparently a pretty good harvestmoon type game.

Sims 1 was neat. They gradually moved away from the tone of that game and more towards casualshit

never got into Sims but loved Sim City

I’ve never played Sims but my wife loves it
