You realize the average video gamer is like 40 right?

Pretty sad. I guess this is why there’s a genocide going on.

If people would spend that time doing something productive, the world would be a better place.

My mom is in her late 70s, still working and flying around for gigs, and she always has her Switch and Breath of the Wild or TOKT with her on flights.

Gaming transcends any age.

Yes this. So many people don’t know that in all 50 states it actually becomes illegal to have fun after your 25th birthday.

36% of all gamers are 18-34.
25% of all gamers are 35-54.

As of right now, 25-34 year olds average 37 minutes per day of video games (4.3 hours per week). 35-44 averages 21 minutes per day (2.45 hours per week).

These averages are more interesting when peering into the breakdown by age group. (Removing people who don’t play at all by age) to show in 30-39 year olds 67% playing games between 1 and 20 hours per week. 76% of those 18-29.

that’s a little old to be playing with interactive entertainment which engages your strategic thinking and problem solving skills, passively consume some content like a grown adult instead
