And yes, to design a proper survey to represent said population you described, you mainly need to:
1. select the right sample
2. control bias
In this case:
1. you need to select the right sample - a RANDOM sample. This poll does not contain a random sample, yet the sample consists of those who (#2) have a bias. Therefore...
2. there is no way to control the bias on this particular poll - in fact, the ones who have a strong bias are the ones who answer the poll and a good portion of them don't even play this game, so their vote doesn't even matter.
That's my point, you fool of a took, that this poll represents 5% of the total playing population. Before you like to throw in some random 'fact' you found on the internet, do your research before you post because it's just making you look uneducated.

What research do you have that backs up your statement about a good portion of the voters not even playing the game? Please cite source.
