Videogamers Not Lonely Introverts; More Valuable Consumers than Non-Gamers

who play video games are more likely than non-gamers to influence their
friends’ attitudes about pop culture and new technology purchases and
are more social than commonly thought, according to a study from IGN Entertainment and Ipsos Media CT.

not play video games, IGN said.
