In the<\/span><span class=\"font6\"> UK for example,<\/span><span class=\"font5\">women represent 52% of all players.

We could name many more, but this already proves that gaming is <\/span><span class=\"font8\">definitely for women, who, bit by bit, are <\/span><span class=\"font7\">achieving the long awaited gender equality.
