You have to figure any old curmudgeon who's still playing games with a vengeance after 2-3 decades has a different sense of what's entertaining seeing as how the majority of adults are entertained by other things past a certain age, or at maybe their taste in games will have been reduced to quick games on their smartphone or tablet or web browser games because they simply don't have hours per week to spend on the typical retail adventure/campaign/grindfest/time killer. So said curmudgeon who is still fully into the hobby is often the type to wax poetic about "the good old days" and how much better everything was back then. I'm guessing the people who have been gaming for decades and still play yet don't have this attitude are typically the ones who are probably playing games with their kids now. |
Well, maybe they can do what I do? Enjoying the games from their childhood, but at least admitting that other people liking or disliking those games (and/or being good at them) says axactly nothing about them... except their age? Not whether they are "real" gamers, not how "hardcore" they are or how skilled they are?
Maybe I expect a little to much from other people
