最近一項(xiàng)針對英美國家的調(diào)查顯示,著名交友網(wǎng)站facebook上最受歡迎的farmville游戲(移植到開心網(wǎng)上就是大名鼎鼎的“開心農(nóng)場”了)的主要用戶竟是年齡50歲上下的女性!于是該調(diào)查說明了一個(gè)嚴(yán)肅的事實(shí):你的菜,很可能是被你的老媽偷去了;而如果你居然都還沒開始偷菜的話…… 那你就真的是OUT了……

Who do you think is most likely to send new livestock or crops your way on Farmville? According to GigaOM, your friend's mom (or even your own) is the typical social gamer. A recent survey of the U.S. and U.K. by Info Solutions Group (ISG) showed that the average person who plays games like Farmville, Bejeweled or Mafia Wars is a 43-year-old woman. In the U.S., 55-percent of people who play these games are women, and the average age is 48-years-old. On top of that, 38-percent of these female gamers say they play several times each day. In other words, moms are taking over the basement gaming lairs of their nerdy kids.


This shouldn't be much of a surprise when you consider the number of women who have flocked to Facebook. Besides that, these social networking games appeal to an older crowd because they don't require huge chunks of time and have no complicated equipment to worry about, either.

So, if you're wondering why dinner is so late, you might want to check the computer. If these numbers are accurate, Mom is logging some serious time finding virtual sad, lost sheep.
