Come on, there is only a 0% chance that your statement is also 100% certain. It depends a lot on what you classify as gamer and disabled, and as the article also says who identifies as such (and sure how good the survey was)... but by whatever some metric I would assume it is not too far from reality.

And I strongly resonate... the last time I'd really identify as a gamer was during youth and studies, maybe. Now I lack the time and rarely game. But I had good times still, especially with an egoshooter clan first and also kind of addictive MMORPGs, and always think: when I'm on pension, or something bad hits that isolates or disables me and there is not much more to do and I'd be despaired, I'd try to find my way back into such a community, for the social aspect as well as entertainment, gives me some hope for that unthinkable situations .

If 16% of the general population is disabled, it stands to reason that 33% of gamers could be?
