It's such a fucking kid move to not have enough imagination to understand adults needs recreation too.

Do you think you'll stop gaming in, like 20 years when you're 30?

everywhere. thinking mostly kids play videogames is some boomer-ass take. SNES was 35 years ago... do you think people who grew up playing videogames in the 90s just quit one day? about three quarters of people who play videogames today are adults, and 40% are 35+.

I believe games were originally marketed to adults until Nintendo decided to buck the trend?

So, how many more generations before people finally escape Nintendo's crafted stereotype that games are for young boys? Never? Fantastic. I'll try not to think about how I'll magically be too old for games in 7 months.

39 here and still playing. The worst part is STILL having a huge backlog of steam games to work through.

My choice of a retirement home will be dictated by which one offers high-speed internet service.

I know people in their 50s who still game lmao calling 30 old

I mean this purely as an observation, but: almost certainly literal child detected

I'm in my mid 30s, and the people in my extended social circle around my age that don't fire up a game at least once or twice a week are few and far between, even including the harried, busy, regular not-yet-grand parents, haha

Quick edit: imo, the ones not playing video games at my age (again, in my area) are generally the ones who seem the least like they have their shit together. It's weird but it's a thing I've noticed

I grew up playing video games in the 80’s - of course I still play video games even though I turned 50 this year.

I swear the younger generations forget gaming has been around for a LONG time long before they were born, also that people don’t change what they enjoy doing just because they get older…..

30... That's funny. I'm 50+ and clap asses hard in Tarkov PvP.

34 here, reporting for duty

I got a Deck cuz I'm in my 30s. Best thing ever to relax with.

I don't know anyone my cohort who doesn't.

I'm also developing them, with the first one hopefully (somewhat) finished by September

48, just been gaming with my 15 year old. Love it, wouldn't be without it!

Lets sit down and discuss what constitutes a rogue-like

I'm creeping up on 50. I finished Elden Ring a little while back.

Late 60's here and my first game was technically Pong. First one I played on my own PC was hunt the wumpus

if 30s is grandpa then what the fuck am I.

My back and knees hurt just thinking about this.

I'm 28 and I'm a young-un in my Elder Scrolls Online guild lol

You can have my game controller when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. And I'm not alone. We are many. We are legion.

You've heard of dementia villages that mimic old city neighborhoods? Gen-X is gonna need that to look like a mall. A video arcade would make sure over half of them never try to leave^1^. We're not done gaming, not by a longshot.

^1^ - The rest are going to tend to cluster up in the food court or Tower Records.

Turning 40 this year.

I have systems older than grandpa!

Every time I visit my dad he's still playing Empire Deluxe

I'm only barely in my 30s but yeah! Hopefully going back to college next year to finish getting a game dev degree too

37 Guilty as charged

38 and still gaming regularly on PC.
