| Sumario: | As a medium of communication and representation, video games have an enormous cultural influence and have an immense impact on society in all parts of Latin America today. Despite the popularity of video games across the region, we still have relatively little data analysis regarding the habits, features and particularities of the regional population of video game users, which is the central focus of this study. This article begins with a detailed review of the available studies, statistics and data published by a multitude of state, academic and private sources that help give shape to this account of the practices and characteristics of Latin American video game users. Then, it focuses on the various stumbling blocks still standing in the way of a precise calculation of the typical profile of the region’s players—if such a thing is possible—and argues that the partial vision that we have been able to compile to date has not proven capable of offering a true comprehension of the diversity of Latin America’s player demographics. |
