Yes because people are born, grow up, go to school, go to high schoo, go to college, get a job, get married, get kids. And has time passes by and people get to do all this things, they get more and more free time to play, right? Not to mention other factors blending in like social factors or people's maturity evolving as time goes by. I don't need to rely on my "own experiences" to know how the world works, like I said, some things are logical and you can make assumptions without having factual data (i.e., numbers) to know it's true. I just find it funny that you say that and then use the "I know people who do it" like argument. I mean, on an internet debate you use reason with "I know people who do it"? Really? And then you say that from my own experiences I can't make opinions on something? DOuble standards much? |
You are making sweeping generalizations and presenting your unwarranted 'assumptions' as fact, when they are based on nothing more than insufficient evidence & reasoning (your own experiences). Yes, when people grow up they do have time to play games. In fact, when people grow up and have children, they are even more likely to be exposed to games. I'm not even sure what to make of your maturity statement. I hope you are not making more false generalizations that 'mature' people don't like to have fun or play games.
26% of gamers are over 50
48% of parents play video games with their children weekly
Do you really believe that all of those parents were into games before having children? Is it an easy 'assumption' for you that none of them decided to play games as a way to bond with their kids? None of the gamers over 50 started as adults? Really?
-------------------------
No double standard. I was using my own personal experience as a response to your generalizations that no one has ever gotten into gaming as an adult with kids. My own personal experiences were all that was need to refute your misguided speculation. To more easily illustrate how my use of personal experiences differed from your use:
You: 'I'm wearing a grey shirt, so everyone in the world must also be wearing a grey shirt' <--- sweeping generalization based on unwarranted assumption
Me: 'No dude, I'm wearing a white shirt'
You can see the difference right?
And this part: "then you say that from my own experiences I can't make opinions on something?" You have been presenting 'facts' based on 'truthiness' - not opinions.
