Most gamers are men. I actually wish there were more women who were gamers, but mostly there aren't. Mobile free to play games aimed at casual audiences are not real games, they're time wasters. There are a handful of decent mobile games, but they're buried under a mountain of time and cash grabbing garbage.
When you say that 40% of gamers are women, you can't then say that it's men's fault for gatekeeping because 90% of Mechwarrior 5 or Dirt 3 players are men, because you're using different definitions. These are AAA titles made and marketed with a very different demographic in mind than a match 3 mobile game. I WANT there to be more women who enjoy the kinds of games I enjoy, nobody is gatekeeping anything. At most, you might have some fans being wary of their hobbies being watered down to appeal to a wider audience, but that isn't exclusive to race, gender, etc. But can also include simplifying game mechanics and such.
