SEATTLE, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ — PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, today unveiled the results of a survey targeting “white collar” workers who play casual video games. While white collar workers’ consumption of casual games at home mirrored the overall casual gamer audience fairly closely, the survey revealed some surprising facts about the playing of casual games in the workplace — and the motives behind the activity.

Of those white collar workers surveyed, nearly a quarter (24%) said they play “at work” — with fully 35% of CEOs, CFOs and other senior executives saying they play at work.
“It’s not surprising that today’s business professionals are casual video game users,” said Carly Drum, a recognized expert on workplace issues and Managing Director of Drum Associates, a leading executive recruitment firm. “The face of today’s executive workforce is definitely changing: we’re seeing employees who are much more technologically savvy and familiar with all forms of new media from social networking to blogging and beyond.
