This rather huge survey from Kurashi How Labs looked at women and smartphone games and will be published over three days this week.
I’m not a woman, but I’ve currently got just one game on my phone
that I’m hopelessly addicted to! I’m not telling you how long I waste every day on it, but most of the play time is either at home or on the train to and from the office.
