that's pretty interesting actually. Some of the stats are way higher than what I'd expect to see.

Those stats can not possibly be correct.

25% of gamers are over 50? No way in hell. playing Pong once when you were in your 40s doesn't count.

If you play any online game, there's a 90% chance you'll meet a male between 18 and 40. Men of that age play way more frequently and buy games more frequently as well.

Interesting. A moderator who hates filters. :gaygiggle
I'm a consultant programmer and have the same problem at certain clients. Some are wide open and others even block Yahoo mail.
