Hi Escapists,
I'm currently studying education at the University of Frankfurt in Germany and i'm gonna do a presantation about videogames. The main topic is going to be the depiction of games in the media and amongst gamers, so I thought, to represent different groups of gamers, I'm gonna do a poll in different gaming forums. The results aren't meant to be scientific, but should merely give some kind of orientation.
I'd be glad if a lot of people would participate, so thank you if you do!
