A report released by casual gaming mecca PopCap Games indicates that white collar workers play games constantly throughout the day. The study indicates that as salaries and titles improve on the organizational chart, the amount of gameplaying in a given day increases substantially.
"Considering that the casual games market is around 200 million people, PopCap estimates that the executive crowd is very much into casual gaming, with about 80 million 'white collar' workers playing. 24 percent of the 'white collar' employees said they do play at work, and that number jumps up to 35 percent for CEOs, CFOs and other senior executives. 98 percent said that they play casual games at home too."

/me says nothing :D

And all this tells me is that capitalism is bullshit. Why? They are paid too much for the little amount of work they actually do. Has nothing to do with the fact that they "enjoy gaming". It simply means they have nothing do 34 hours out of their week and are simply killing time while raking in 100,000s of dollars a year.

Glad to see that senior executives are on the ball and have their priorities straight.

Exactly, and have to supply their own health care. Funny how society has regressed. The people that do nothing, get paid the most and get monstrous health care; those that form the backbone of civilization get paid the least and have to pay out of pocket for their well being.
