My wife doesn't like the same kind of games I do all the time, but she has no problem being a space if the game is fun. Same goes for my daughter. I've met many a women gamers that are big into all types of games. Now, to be fair, the number of women gamers is still well below the number of male gamers in the circles I travel in. So is this a "More women would be gamers if" sort of thing? Because if we're just talking about current female gamers, I don't know that this holds true. I do agree on the part that women and men gamers are definitely different. I'm not saying Mr. Bergsson's statement is completely wrong, but as it's a generalization, I don't know that it's all true either. I think like most other things, it's somewhere in the middle.
