New research shows a massive generational divide in game genre preferences. A study by MIDiA Research surveyed 9,000 gamers across several countries including the US, UK, Germany, and South Korea. It found that online player-vs-player games are more popular than single-player ones among audiences aged 16-24. Only 30% of this bracket wants to play alone, while a whopping 68% of them would rather play online or couch co-op.

Nah, they defs do. Just less. Also, the trend seems to go towards single player again, so maybe there’s hope for the future. Big multiplayer releases bombing is definitely a sign for devs, too.
