That's sorta the lede being buried here. This shows that people who would self-identify as gamers prefer single-player games. Gamers aren't the target audience for AAA devs though, they want to make more money than God by targeting the entire population of Earth, and a lot of people who would not categorize themself as a gamer seem to prefer being able to play simple online games with their friends.
