Computer game players, especially in India, are usually men. Women gamers are so few they seem mythical. When I asked around, hardly anyone knew women gamers. However, on the pan-India level, gaming is becoming increasingly popular with women. On Zapak.com, a popular gamesite, 12% of Zapak.com gamers are girls. Plans are in motion to increase this to 25% with the launch of Zapakgirls.com. Games on Zapakgirls.com are geared towards women. As of now they have about 300 games that would interest woman. Other games are specifically targeting woman with fashion and beauty themes. Seems like woman will be responsible for online gaming growth in the coming future.
