“hardcore” gaming is clearly still rooted in its traditional user base (playing games is considered the most entertaining media amongst males aged 16-24)
I did just finish reading a very interesting article on another gaming study done in response to the criticism of the previous study. http://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/
So yes, the average percentage of female gamers is still lower for a lot of the genres but for most of the genres it is still a sizeable chunk, and for some individual games like Dragon Age: Inquisition, it is almost 50:50. So to dismiss women as "generally uninterested in gaming" is still very much wrong.
