Statistics about steam users available?

[[bin]zwieda]

I am interested in the age-distribution of steam users, split in age-groups like
"under 9 years", "10-19 years", "20-29 years", ... "50-59 years", "60+ years".

+ Possibly also split into male and female groups
+ Possibly also split into different states and/or regions and/or continents of their home location
+ Possibly also for the last years, too, the more different years, the better

It could maybe look like something like these:

Example of male & female gamers over the last years for the U.S market (2006 to 2019):

Example of gamer´s age-distrivution for Germany (2020)

I have seen official statistics about steams´s user hardware specs, but this one want´s to know about it´s users age.
I am looking for such kind of statistics, but - as mentioned - just about steam users!

Thx for any useful info!

You're not going to find any, for the simple fact that Valve keeps things private and well... I sincerely doubt that many Steam users would be willing to share personal information with you just to satisfy your curiosity.

Age: as far as I know, Steam does not save data on your age. That's why everytime you visit mature content, they require you to enter birth date.

Gender: if I remember correctly, Steam never ask for gender, so Steam has no data on it.

Region: Looks like you can get it from third party. I do not know where, but I remember a youtuber showing the chart of playerbase per continent.

This is a public forum and ANYONE who keeps inside the steam rules and guidelines can post. YOU do not decide who can post here.
If ANYONE wish to post their peronal thoughts about this "suggestion" they are free to do so.

Just because you don't like an answer doesn't make it less useful ya know. Fact remains that there's no way you're going to get reliable statistics, plain and simple.

Partly because some info simply doesn't exist, but mostly because there's no way Valve is going to share personal information about their users. See.. some people such as myself actually did read the user agreements we all agreed to.

(edit)

PS... this might have been much more ontopic in the Community forum. Considering that this is a discussion forum I'd say it's actually ontopic to discuss. Whether the subject itself is ontopic is another question of course.

Dear ShelLuser, i don´t wanna argue, but please stop trying to derail.
It´s ok, if you don´t know about those statistics, they seem to be hard to find, but they exist!

I found some, which are sold for a couple of hundred bucks, so they actually DO exist.
So some will know about details, freely available, and those are the ones who can help me any further.
