The lack of diverse playable characters in video games could make a serious impression among gamers and the broader U.S. population. A 2008 study by the Pew Internet Project found that almost all U.S. kids and teens play video games, along with a majority of young adults and almost half of all adults.
Female and Latino gamers in particular would have a hard time finding their virtual counterparts, despite each representing major players of video games. That suggests video game developers could have overlooked a hugely underserved group of customers, especially if they wrongly assume that the average video gamer remains a white male.
