The sad truth is that for all that it seems to be popular here, Bloomberg is a rag and it almost always shows. They start with an agenda and work lazily backwards from that. Fortnite is f2p, and massively popular, and a lot of women play games. Therefore, a lot of women play Fortnite, but that doesn’t support their foregone conclusions or let them shit out an article.

Welcome to Bloomberg.

Eh. I don't buy the "women play games" argument. Why weren't they able to write this article about Dota 2?
They probably could've mentioned exactly that if they took into account South Korea, where gaming is much more engrained in the culture and shows less of a gender divide - but then they would have to do research and gather domain knowledge...
