    You’re right, but in the age group 18-29 the majority isn’t a PC gamer.

    For sure, but we’re still talking millions of young people with at least a PC (for gaming).

    Also in college more and more people only use a tablet. I feel also a growing number of not young people are switching to a tablet or have a laptop laying around somewhere for that one time you need it.

    Interestingly enough, the EU reports (as late as 2023) that desktop use to access the internet has gone down over the years, but so has tablet use. Laptop, phones, and smart devices (i.e. smart TVs) went up.

    But I didn’t see a breakdown of the age groups there, and it doesn’t expand on gaming/non-gaming habits, just “devices used to access the internet”.

    I went through a phase where I did everything on Android tablets, then a Windows tablet, then back to a laptop. LOL I still have a desktop PC, but my laptop is my daily driver.

      Interesting for sure, desktop going down doesnt surprise me much but hadn’t expected tablet use to go down as well.
