Pennsylvania is the Least Video Game-Obsessed State in America
Gaming is obviously a big deal across the world, but as it turns out, some U.S. states like playing video games a lot more than others. In fact, some states play almost two times as many video games as we here in Pennsylvania.
The site SolitareBliss.com has actually studied which states are the most video game-obsessed. “Games are a timeless source of entertainment, and they’ve had quite a boon in the past two years,” they state in the study. “From board games making a major comeback to much-anticipated video games hitting the market, there are seemingly endless choices when it comes to playtime. There’s something for everyone in the world of games; in fact, the Entertainment Software Association recently reported that 2 in 3 Americans play video games regularly.”
To conduct the study, SolitaireBless.com asked more than 2,000 gamers across the country to tell them about their video gaming habits on phones, consoles and computers. As it turns out, gamers in Ohio, Michigan and Texas play the most each week.
As for Pennsylvania, the Keystone State is actually tied for the honor of being the least video game-obsessed state in the nation with an average of 10 hours spent per week gaming. About 72% of Pennsylvania gamers play video games at least once weekly, but only 34% play video games daily. Only 22% of Pennsylvania gamers have canceled social plans to play video games. Also, about 66% of Pennsylvania gamers have sacrificed sleep to play video games longer and 30% of Pennsylvania gamers have skipped a meal.
I actually recently got on the Steam bandwagon and signed up for an account. I’m already hooked. I really like playing Jackbox games, but it’s a Hello Kitty racing game that has been giving me the feels. I feel like a kid again, just having fun and trying to get my Hello Kitty avatar to the finish line. If you’re on Steam, add me here.
