Our latest poll results say exactly what many of us assumed, gamers play casual games because they enjoy it. This may be eye opening to a few non-casual gamers that may think we play casual games because their cheaper. At a typical MSRP of $19.99 it’s hard to beat a casual games price tag when console games are typically $59.99 and even PC games hold a common $49.99 price.

The results to the question “Why do you play casual games” are as follows:

70% say “I enjoy it”
9% say “Cheaper games”
9% say “Very little free time”
9% say “Casual games are lame”
3% say “Low system requirements”

I thought “low system requirements” would have been a bit higher, because casual games indeed take less horses behind your CPU and GPU to play. That makes the games great for laptops and very valuable to “work computers” (those you use at work but don’t own or maintain). The beauty of flash applications is you can play them anywhere and on many lower end computers… those you typically find in the work place.

Since most work systems are rotated every two to four years there is a great chance yours is already out of date. Secondly, you probably only have 30 to 60 minutes to invest in a casual game at work between bites of your sandwich, the price is right and the gaming is fun.

For the 9% that said casual games are lame… I’m guessing you found the site by accident, but I enjoy you stopping by anyway!
