[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 6091358, member: 10479"] From my personal experience, I know very few gamers who are not online, and that certainly means for more than email. It's hard to imagine anyone who is a gamer, who is also online, that hasn't done some poking around to look at gamer sites including ways to play or store info online, our interfaces and clouds in the gaming world. I do have one gamer currently in his mid/late 30s who had an email address but told me he doesn't get online much yet when I mentioned I was housing some maps for the campaign on Obsidian Portal, he was registered on there within 24 hours with no need to prompt or coach. I get the impression, from having spent much of the last decade back in school, that many folks who say they aren't online mean they don't have a smart phone in their hand every waking hour and aren't constantly texting and sending status updates to their accounts. However, those same people tend to be online for personal, business, and academic uses that aren't tied to social media; they just don't think of it as "online" because of the trends of usage types among others. Given the advances with Skype (in terms of multiple person/group calls) and the introduction of G+ Hangouts, as well as many other online camera-and-mic-using interfaces, and given the splintered market that makes it more and more difficult to find players of any particular game (or gaming style) locally, I can only imagine that the raw numbers of online gamers will continue to increase and the crossover will rise of those who traditionally played offline. And I think I'm done calling offline gaming "face-to-face" since that is no long a clear distinction. [/QUOTE]
