Apparently, quite a number of people do cry affected by video games. According to a survey conducted by ASCII Media Works' website DENGEKI Online(Jp), 46.5% of the gamers have at least once cried, touched by a video game. The poll was taken from September 25 to October 8, 2008, and the average age of the respondents were 25.46, consisting of 86.3% male and 13.7% female, which must kind of reflect the general gaming population.
