Introduction The following presentation is a set of numerical data collected for a survey about different people playing together in a single game, specifically, GTA 5, the point of the survey was to show that GTA 5 does indeed unite people from different social classes into a single video game. We have conducted our research through many ways, face to face conversation, Facebook, Twitter, E-mails, internet forums/websites and other social websites such as reddit. In total, we have received about 2500 responses in total in our group of 3 but for the sake of this presentation we will condense the statistics to a 100 people. Most of the responses came from the internet as we had problems with getting enough resources to conduct the research face-to-face.

Qualitative Research
So I have also done another questionnaire which has open questions and after the other one I did, I decided not to make in on survey monkey because I did not get enough results so I just went around the college an asked people that way because it also meant that my results would also be honest results.In the second survey I asked 30 people
The questions • Do you play video games? 26 said yes 4 said no
• What games do you play? 25 said fps 5 said third person
• What do you play games on? 25 said xbox 360 5 said playstation
• What working class are you in? 20 said middle class 10 said upper class
• Have you played GTA V? 20 said yes 10 said no
• Did you like GTA V? 20 said yes 10 said no
ConclusionAfter doing our research, we have realised many things, indeed, GTA 5 appeals to all sorts of people which proves the point that this survey initially set out to prove. Some of this research can however be biased because of us not being able to do more face-to-face surveys because of lack of materials to do so.
For the future, we could also redo some of the questions or even replace them, for example, the one that asks if someone is a gamer or not could have been cut off since that can be asked before the survey, thus saving space for additional questions.
Overall however we feel like we have created a pretty solid survey which explains a lot of things to us when it comes what kinds of people tend to play GTA 5 and how many of tchem they are.Since we asked on a variety of internet websites we feel like this part of the survey went well since we were able to get answers from all sorts of different communities.
GTA 5 was indeed a blockbuster of a game that united gamers and even to someextent many of the non gamers into a one massive, great game that is GTA 5.
