Haha boy is this forum a sausage fest. I knew those "the games industry is 50% women" things were lies. Didn't think by this much though.

Don't directly correlate the demographics of the video game players with the demographics of Internet forums.   If a correlation exists, you'd need to look closer at the core gamer or high level hobbyists demographics rather than the video game industry as a whole.

Most hobbyists I know are men. And the 50% female gamer is bullock in our console gamer sense... it get to 50% when they consider this demographic as "having played once in my life" + "playing smartphone free games" +"playing facebook/orkut games"+ "playing solitaire on PC". I'm certain my mother wouldn't consider herself a gamer even though she daily plays solitaire.
