Indeed, it's not the same, hence why I said what I said. Consequently, I don't provide the evidence you speak of. However, I obviously do see myself as better as those who refuse to play games because of certain age ratings and/or fear that they could be considered childish for playing those games. |
I dont think you understand the situation.
Adults are able to and do play mature AND cartoony games.
Children play cartoony games but are not always able to play mature games either because retailers refuse to sell to them or their parents only buy their kids games based on age rating.
Everyone has played childrens at one time or another, but not everyone has played mature games. While there are some people who never go back to cartoony games, its pointless saying its because they like to feel grown up because the truth might just be as simple as liking more complex physics or more gore.
e.g. if you are a racing enthusiast whose played mario kart and gran turismo, but then stop playing mario kart, it doesnt mean you want to feel grown up, it means you want to drive a car or cart with physics which mario kart cant offer.
Likewise, no-one goes around labelling people who pick mario kart over GT as wanting to be kids, because they might prefer a racing experience where handling physics is not main focus of the game.
The BS that people pick games to fit a stereotype needs to stop. People do not play video games for years and years just to claim they are grown up, they do it because the level of entertainment they are getting is unmatched by anything else they have tried.
