I actually fit the demographic for popcap games largest audience, a female at 31 years old, but I have been an avid gamer (of all types of games) since wolfenstein 3D was new when I was in high school. Call me a fluke if you want, but a lot of gamers now are women and many only play the casual games because of the accessibility problem – the learning curve is much steeper with most of the games that qualify as hard core. In that vein, I have introduced many of my (female) friends to HL2 and specifically portal, and most ended up buying the orange box themselves within a week, and I helped them upgrade their computer to be able to play it at higher settings as well. These are the same people that have never played anything in the past but casual games – the only thing my presence changed was the accessibility and learning curve required (they had a tutor and hint-giver on hand when learning the games).

I believe very firmly because of my own experience that the only true separation (besides the said people’s average pc specs before they get into the games labeled hard core) between hard core gamers and casual gamers is how accessible the games are, and changing that is already changing the face of gaming.

personally, i hate peggle and love tf but there are rainy days that i go directly to popcap or bigfish to find something to waste time on. i can play bookworm/bwadventures to the point of not knowing where the day went and hating popcap for ruining my life.. just as much as valve for tf.

HA! I thought you were referencing Look Around You when you said ‘maths’. Then when I saw the Thopcap, I instantly knew and god I’m envious of RPS.

Love you guys, great interview.

TIM: It’s not a myth. My mom plays casual games. My grandma plays casual games. Check out the stuff being sold off http://www.bigfishgames.com and then try to tell me that 20 year old males who like blood n guts shooters will also bother to even download “Plant Tycoon” or “Jojo’s Fashion Show”
