BigPoint Reports Gamers Don`t Want to Game with Mom, 28% Would Sell Her to Win

BigPoint did some recent polling of its players in the lead up to Mother’s Day. It seems that some of the results are rather surprising.

For example, a full 28% said they would sell their mother just to win a game! For shame!

Bigpoint graph what would you give to win?

More realistically, 55% said that their mother is a significant force their lives yet only 22% say she is their closest female friend. But at least she’s getting some recognition.

Showing that gamers either fear the judgment of their mothers or perhaps, fear losing to them, a mind-boggling 87% said they would not wish their mother to join them in a game. Perhaps because she would be constantly tutting them for their foul language and poor behaviors which many commonly exhibit in MMO games.

In other findings, family topped clan/guild loyalty and 62% would rather game than spend time with their mothers.

That’s the woman that gave birth to you! She clothes and feeds you! Then again, I probably wouldn’t want to game with mine either. Luckily, she doesn’t really game.
