Children and Video Gaming

Many media outlets like to scapegoat video games as what's wrong with children these days, but the truth behind kids and gaming is a lot more wholesome.

For example, 70% of parents surveyed have said video games positively impacted their child's life. In the US, 57% of parents say they play video games with their kids once a week, if not more. Gaming has become a bonding experience that brings the family together.

And of course, we couldn't talk about worldwide demographics without confirming that yes, even in 2021, 92% of US teen boys play games on a console. Some things just don't change, even if the rest of the video game industry is evolving daily.
