No. "demographic" is not a living thing and therefore is not followed by "who." Change it to: How do video games affect those in the younger demographic who play them OR How do video grames affect the younger demographic that plays them.

Just say: How do video games affect young people who play them?

Wouldn't it be:
How does video games affect the young population who play them?

I'm thinking no, because 'demographic' is singular, not plural (i.e., demographics). I would replace the last three words with: that plays them or which plays them.
Hope that helps! If I'm wrong, please forgive me -- I've been out of school for 19 years!

'demographic' is an adjective, therefore, it needs a noun. (Yes, sometimes it is loosely - i.e. lazily - used as a noun, but in writing, it is best to use it correctly.)
So, try something like "demographic audience" or "demographic group".
