I think World of Warcraft change that somewhat. I joined one company and was shocked, discover that practically everyone and every department had an account and played at least casually.

I made sure not to mention that I was in a top tier guild getting server firsts. I didn’t want to come off as to weird. I mean I have three computers and seven monitors on my desk, but one have to know when to draw the line.



I think WoW also significantly grew the female demographic in terms of gaming, but we saw that with RPGs even prior to WoW too, especially Final Fantasy.
