We generally think of gamers as young men. The female esports players, who have recently made a name for themselves with their success, have completely eliminated this prejudice. What about mothers? You might think that mothers don’t play games much when they say it was their own job, child, housework, but according to the survey conducted by Mobidictum, most of the mothers are real gamers.
According to the survey, the number of mothers playing mobile games on their smartphones is quite high. A large part of this group consists of young people under 50 years old and mothers with small children. The reasons for playing mobile games are mostly to relax and have fun. So we can say that playing games acts as a kind of therapy. Let’s take a closer look at the survey results and see the gaming habits of gamer mothers. Participants were able to choose more than one option.

What do all these results mean?
The first result of the survey conducted by Mobidictum is that mothers, who are not considered as the target audience in the gaming world, actually form the heart of the mobile gaming world. These results may pave the way for the game world to carry out mother-oriented studies in the coming days.
The fact that mothers who say they play games have young and small children raises the hope that new generation children will not be pressured by their mothers not to play games. There is no reason why the children of these mothers should not become successful esports players in the future.
The fact that smartphones are mostly preferred for playing games shows the success of the mobile gaming world. At the same time, the fact that most of the mothers play games to relax, have fun and feel good also reveals that mobile games serve as a kind of therapy for the players.
The survey only examines mothers’ gaming habits. Since other details such as the frequency of going out, social activities, and moods were not examined, we do not know whether the mothers who said they played games were playing out of loneliness and boredom, or out of personal curiosity.
According to the results of the survey conducted by Mobidictum, we saw how often the mothers played games and made a general assessment based on these results. If you are a mother, you can describe your gaming habit in the comments.
