A whole dollar?!

Yea pretty much dead on with the cougar description but I think I would have added a Monica Lewinski stained blue dress in there too. An interesting survey and I'd attribute that a lot to Facebook. For myself I don't think I'll ever get into the Facebook thing, too much instant gratification and making you feel more popular than you really are.

Yes she is and she has more than one farm on farmville so I think she moved passed "casual" part of the game.

My mother barely knows what the internet is.

my mum has more gamerscore than me on Mass Effect and Brothers In Arms. And she introduced me to Elder Scrolls. And my dad finished Modern Warfare 2 on veteran before me. Theyre both in their 40's.

So the average social gamers are MILFS ?

My Mum is addicted to Mafia Wars.

My mom plays tons of MSN flash games and PopCap games, but also plays Mario games, Pokemon, Zelda, etc.

Your mom goes to college!

there are a few things wrong with this survey that i would like to point out. first, THIS WAS DONE BY POPCAP! the number one third party company in casual sales! this is clearly biased toward expanding their audience, or making a more temping sales pitch. second, you cant always trust statistics, as they can be manipulated to show a bias. this survey was done on what they call "social casual gamers". how do you define that? in order to call yourself a member of that group its pretty much assumed you are over 40. perhaps im wrong and their really are more cougars playing games than mountain dew chugging college students, but i seriously doubt it.

My parents almost never play games on the PS3 I bought for them. We're big into dirtbiking, so the only game my dad really plays is motorstorm. I think he gave up on gaming when I kicked his ass in street fighter 2 for the SNES.

my mom is addicted to bejeweled. she's 54.

Totally my mom. I always get upates on how her Farmville thing is doing. I never understood the appeal, the again I can say the same for Mafia and all the other games littering facebook.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

My mother only plays The Sims.

I have only one thing to say about this header image: BOY-YOY-YOING!! I'm all for older women gamers if they're wet and naked all the time.

5,000 responded to the survey, and yet they get 12,000 (moved comma) play social games from this?

Xzyliac is right... I detest facebook and rarely play casual games. These stats have been around for quite awhile - older women play casual PC games. What I do find interesting is that console and PC game developers appear to have no interest in this huge demographic even though it's a large segment of people with the money to game, the time to game... and they are already gaming.

If any devs do show an interest in this demographic and can lure these women over to consoles - there is lots of money to be made! The key seems to be getting these women to spend money on a game. Once they do - look out! There might be a lot more older female Platoon Leaders on games like MAG! :)

(oh and websites too... there really aren't any gaming websites that cater to more mature women. They're either full of Japanese culture/cosplaying/anime with a side of gaming... or they're pink and pretty... or they're hardcore competitive. I'm not surprised that Facebook is the current favorite with so few other options).

This is not good for real gamers.

And there lies one of the stupidest, yet almost universally accepted, ideals of the video game community.

My mother indulges in every farm, zoo, cafe, and fish world/ville/story on facebook, and she's 48. As unrelated as her gaming is to mine, it has still let us bond over the joys of obsessively managing things and watching incremental improvements happen in our virtual worlds.

@RPT111- We are all gamers. Doesn't matter what kind of games we play.

well my mom is 43 and does play farmville...
