¿Question #495?
EYE of NiGHT: How many non-gamers have you introduced or converted to german games?

ocdspectrum: At least two.
oldhoss: I have introduced: 20-30. I don't know if I've converted anyone. Maybe one of my brother-in-law's.
Woelf: People are born as either gamers or non-gamers. Many people have had their gaming nature suppressed most of their lives, so when someone talks of "converting" someone into a gamer what they've really done is helped that person discover their gaming nature. It's impossible to convert a true non-gamer, so the best you can hope for there is a gamer-sympathizer that will play stuff with you occasionally.
