New Research Proves What We Already Knew: Women Are Underserved By Game Industry

New Research Proves What We Already Knew: Women Are Underserved By Game Industry https://ift.tt/FprWSK9 Video game companies are overlooking potential female players, according to new research by Ampere Analysis, a London-based data and analytics firm focused on gaming, media, and sports (via VGC ). According to Ampere's latest study, women make up 48% of the current gaming market, and roughly 922 million players are female. Ampere's research states that women largely prefer narrative-driven single-player games over multiplayer games. But perhaps the most interesting bit of info to come out of the firm's latest study is the revelation that a lack of time or money isn't what's keeping women out of gaming.

Animal Crossing Fans Can Get Cute Lego Playsets For Lowest Prices Yet https://ift.tt/D1ym6xh

Animal Crossing Lego sets are on sale for their lowest prices yet at Amazon and Walmart ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.

Two more sets released in August, and the lineup will hit double digits in January when three new playsets launch alongside the first Mario Kart Lego sets. Six of the seven current Lego Animal Crossing sets are discounted, with the most notable deal being Nook's Cranny and Rosie's House for $60 (was $75).

Nook's Cranny and Rosie's House set was the biggest set in the lineup (and most expensive) before being surpassed by five bucks and 15 pieces by K.K. Slider. It usually retails for $75, but the 20% discount right now brings the price down to $60. The Nook's Cranny and Rosie's House set contains 535 pieces to construct both buildings, and includes Lego versions of both Animal Crossing characters, Tom Nook and Rosie.

If you're interested in K.K.'s Concert in the Plaza, you may need to click "Other sellers on Amazon" to get the discount. Amazon's page has been switching back and forth between listings for the full $80 and the best deal, which lets you get the recently released playset for $71. Note that K.K.'s Concert in the Plaza is sold out directly from Amazon (and Walmart), so you will need to pick a listing that is sold by a third-party but still shipped by Amazon. Even though it's technically sold by a third party, you can get Prime shipping and are eligible for Amazon's normal return policy and customer service.
