What happens when you get to 36 do large proportion of gamers suddenly say ,NO ,No more gaming ,not till I'm 50.. Well i know it didn't happen to me when i reached 36. There's all these gamers out there at age 36 just stop gaming , if it's true maybe that's the age group games companies need to aim to. We need to get them back.. Fourteen years without playing a game.. what are they all in asylums in straight jackets. |
My guess is many become parents in their 30s and kids are expensive and time intensive. Then kids grow up and graduate when they are in their 50s so suddenly coffers are looking better and have time to yourself.
My parents hardly ever played on the NES and SNES, but now they definitely play some on their computers and phones. Probably played 100 games of "Trivia Crack", a Trivial Pursuit type game, with my Dad. That he understands, but something like Street Fighter would be too much for him.
