HA9 - Task 2 – Audience Response

Scenario: I have been commissioned by ukie to write a series of resource packs to be published on their website within the guides section.

War thunder, having a combination of the popular Action genre and the less popular simulator genre, falls somewhere in-between audience size wise, having a smaller audience than pure action games yet a larger audience than pure simulator games.

It also appears that War Thunder's audience is mostly Males of the 18-29 years old range, slightly above the intended target audience of 12 years old (as stated on the game's website and mentioned earlier in this blog).

This graph also shows that most people vote the game very positively (with US players not liking it as much for some reason not revealed by the graph) with almost all votes being over 7/10.
Though this graph is limited in the number of people included, I think the number is just about big enough to be somewhat accurate.
