I wonder how it will look when we start doing statistics on gamers, if AI doesn't destroy our brains first. Then it would be interesting to plot the different death by genre like for example strategy, FPS, puzzle, etc. Someone else asked about Chess players which is probably also related right.

Their content publication history should be a good metric for establishing our future subjects and departed ones as engaging in above average gameplay for each specific genre.
