The only thing I could find was a statista link that claims to show US gamer's proclivities toward preordering in 2016 based on a survey of 1560 people (https://www.statista.com/statistics/662626/game-pre-order-frequency-us-gamers/)
Everything other result seemed to be random news articles about topics tangentially related to preordering video games.
I'm unsure if this still works, but I've heard good things about it: https://bogachenko.github.io/fuckfuckadblock/
It's in the sidebar of the lemmy.world front page. Links below!
I did a quick search and couldn't find anything that breaks down by age sadly. I really hope someone has the stats cause it would be fascinating to see.
wake up
go to work
spend all day making a long day
go home and sleep
repeat 😭
This is the only "competitive" game I play that doesn't make me feel bad for losing. I constantly feel like I'm progressing. It's so gooooood!
I'm sold! I need more ducks in my life
hahaha thankfully not american. It's a self-imposed "can't".
get worried I'll come across as if I'm taking the piss if I take leave on a Monday/Friday or too often
I wear a mask to work if I'm sick but can't call in. People give me odd looks but honestly I kinda enjoy not having to wear as much make up because of the mask lol
very good very safe link
Kept scrolling till I found this comment.
I absolutely loved Destiny 2 but good god is it terrible in a lot of ways. Couldn't keep up with the time investment required and the game really likes using FOMO to keep players hooked.
It's less of a game and more of a second job. At least, that's how it started feeling towards the end for me.
I do if I need to type something really really quickly, but I still type normally if I'm trying to carefully format something with proper grammar and all that (like a Lemmy reply, for example!)
