[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 317570, member: 2525"] I may stand corrected, though it is unclear really. See below response from WOTC Customer Service: I asked: WOTC Customer Service answered: Unfortunately it seems WOTC Customer Service might be focusing on percentage of a given state's population composed of gamers, rather than total number of gamers. There was no detail on total number of gamers. For example, California has 34,501,130 people, and Wisconsin has 5,401,906. So if 1 percent of the population of California plays RPGs, and 5 times that percentage plays RPGs in Wisconsin, you still have 345,011 people playing RPGs in California to 270,095 gamers in Wisconsin. On the other hand, it could be WOTC was focusing on the spread of the percentages of total gamer population, and stating that the highest percentage of gamers is in the midwest, and the lowest is out west, which would likely mean there are more gamers, total, in Wisconsin than in California. As with most WOTC answers, it is vague and open to interpretation (which may be my fault for asking such an open ended question). But it does at least seem somewhat likely I was incorrect. [/QUOTE]
