    53% is barely “most”

    This is a really bizarre point to try to make, to me. The headline doesn’t say “the vast, overwhelming percentage of gamers”… It says most. 53% is most.

    The bigger problem I had was with the categories, really.

      That 3% could be a rounding error, “most” implies a much bigger difference, the title should say that half gamers prefer singleplayer games.

        It doesn’t though. It doesn’t even need to mean more than half, it means more than anything else. If there are 8 groups of 10 and 1 group of 20, the last group has the most members.
