DigitalFilipino.com Cites DotA in Young Filipino Internet Gamer Report 2007

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

DigitalFilipino.com conducted a survey with 375 internet cafe users as respondents. Not surprisingly, 75% of the correspondents play internet games.

According to the survey:

  • 75 percent of respondents were online gamers. As I’ve been doing Internet research for the past seven years, this is the first time I felt the impact of gaming on the Filipino Internet user, especially for the age group of 25-years-old and below where 93% of Internet gamers were found. 73% of respondents were men and nearly half or 48% belong to the 13 to 17 years old age group. 19% interviewed were under 13 years old.
  • Gaming has evolved into a social activity as 66% of gamers have their friends as companions whenever they play. Friends are also the primary influencer for gamers to try out a new game.
  • With limited resources and parental control on Internet use, an average young Filipino Internet gamer spends an average of 10 hours of Internet access per week.
  • RAN Online is the most dominant game being played by young Filipino Internet Users with a share of 40 percent from those we surveyed. This is followed by O2Jam (24%), Ragnarok (18%), Audition (14.3%), and Warcraft DOTA (13.9%). Counterstrike, Flyff, and Tantra still has its own following as of survey time.
