Given that nowhere in the article does it say that 14% of people exclusively play on pre-2000 hardware I don't find this that surprising.

I'm more shocked by the last statistic, 11% of American households still use fax. Fax? Fuckin' why? That's like saying people still listen to music on Edison cylinders.

I give my fax number to anything that asks me for a phone number. It's a valid number that can't recieve calls, meaning when my number is inevitably leaked/purchased by telemarketers, scammers, etc. I don't even notice.
