Do you play a little bit during the week or do not tear yourself away from your favorite games all weekend?
For World Video Game Day (it is celebrated on May 24), QIWI conducted a survey among Russian gamers to find out their gaming preferences and financial habits. A total of 1,501 respondents aged 14 to 60 were interviewed.
It turned out that the average gamer in Russia is a man with a higher education and an average income, married and with children. He plays every day after work for 5 years or more, this allows him to relieve emotional stress. He spends no more than a thousand rubles a month on games, pays for them through electronic wallets. He did not encounter difficulties due to games, and those close to him are neutral about his hobby.
On weekdays, the majority of survey participants play less than two hours, but on weekends, half of the respondents regularly play more than 5 hours. People aged 14-24 spend significantly more time playing games: a third of them play at least 3 hours even on weekdays.
At the same time, 32% of respondents began to play more over the past year. Most often this was noted by young men (14-24 years old) and women (18-24 years old). 22%, on the other hand, play less, while 43% have not changed their habits.
