Michigan is Obsessed with This Pastime, New Study Says
Okay, I knew gaming was a big deal in Michigan, but I didn’t know it was this big a deal. As it turns out, Michigan tops the list of states obsessed with video games.
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.
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 Michigan, the Mitten tied for the most gaming-obsessed state in the country, with an average of 17 hours spent per week gaming. In addition, 73% of Michigan gamers play video games at least once weekly, and 48% play games daily (tied for 5th nationally). Even 76% of Michigan gamers have sacrificed sleep to play video games longer. I don’t think I’m to the point of losing sleep to play my Hello Kitty game yet, but I won’t rule that out.
