Thats... actually a lot lower then I expected considering how ridiculously low the prices get during sales in pc

I almost never pay full price for PC OR console games. Regardless, without knowing the number for the same question regarding consoles, this really doesn't have a lot of context.

The whole survey isn't very clear, anyway. 37% is PC gamers but only half are men? They could be talking about anything. My friend's wife is a "PC gamer" who plays super casual point and click games.

And note that is "core gamers" defined as people that play games for at least 5 hours per week of traditional genres on PC/Consoles. If you include the more casual audience that number is probably even higher.

I say smart guys... DLC and season pass are driving game prices to unreasonable quantities, I will buy more and more the complete edition and the goty editions later on... I have a huge backlog to keep me entertained in the meantime.

Duh, everyone with half a brain knows that that Steam sales, Blizzard & F2P are responsible for the resurgence of PC gaming.
