Yes, I think so because most people don´t care as much about gaming as they used. This, of course, means they play fewer hours which makes them a worse player.

 

I for example used to get toxic very fast when I lose but my attitude change over the last years.

[Mister Woof]

I'm almost 37 and wife is 39. We both play video games.

 

Most of my WoW guild are in their 40s and 50s.

Need some context and explanation for the question OP.

Most people that age don't seem to make time for games in their lives. They have other things they perceive to be more important.

Yes, thats the deal. Lots of ppl lose interest in games (thats why "modern games suck 1!1") or just value other stuff more. 

 

For me gaming will always be a high priority (I think, as it is today and even in a not-so-healthy way) but also things can change.

I love reading and always did, but when I was younger I used to read 1 book per week, and now I dont have time or will to do that. I still read, but now I choose the books way more carefully and take a longer time. You can do the same with games, music, movies or sports. Just find the balance and you can keep doing your hobbies.

No. My favourite counter example:

this guy is almost 50 and he plays a game on pc.

 

Also, drop the pointless capslock.

That's increasingly less true with the advent of mobile games like candy crush. They won't sit down at a pc with the intent to play a game for two hours straight, but they will play in their spare time or on the bus.

That's nothing bro, there's a grandmother big into Skyrim and she's like 82.

I played World of Warcraft for years and we had a guildie who was something like 76 or so. He wasn't bad at the game, either; did raids pretty regularly and everything.

 

Personally, I don't see any reason why old folks couldn't play games just as well as young'uns.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Moms (59) been playing World of Tanks, World of Warships, (Gran Turismo 2) the last few years because I gave her my old RIG. (4670+HD7870, now an i7 4790+GTX970))

She'd throw the PC at you if you said she couldn't play games...

 

She loves and hates World of ^Games,... but really does not like shooter games,.. which I've TRIED AND TRIED to get her into (BRoyale/Headset feels)

But she's happy with less intense reaction styles than insta-Gib or shooting FPS playstyles.. but very very proud she gives it a go.

[flibberdipper]

Guess my friend's 48 year old dad that played PSVR for an hour or two when said friend got it is just a figment of my imagination.

[Kawaii Koneko]

Unfortunately, as we get older, we will naturally lose reflex and reaction time. But then again, video games have been shown to help with that. So maybe it will balance out. So maybe some older people lose interest as they find kids are stomping them in games but other dedicated players will probably not suffer too much. I think. I'm kind of speculating.

 

But I see no reason that people my age can't game on PC. I've been gaming on PC off and on since I was like 6 or 7. Back in the old days when turning one on was like firing up a jet engine lol. I think I was like twelve or thirteen when my family finally got a permanent PC. Before that I was messing around on laptops and computers my dad would borrow from work for projects. Ever since then I have been gaming on PC and I'm 33 now. 

 

Now granted, there was and still is a lot of console usage that takes up my gaming time and to be honest, I don't game on PC as much as I used to. When I was a teen I would pretty much game on PC all day with some gaps where I didn't touch it much because I was playing games like MGS on the PlayStation. But even though I don't game as much on PC, it isn't like I abandoned it.

35 here.  Due to work, family obligations and overall lack of free time I don't game as often as I'd like but I squeeze it in where I can.  I have no plans on stopping.

Man, y’all talking about being 50, 30, 33, and whatnot

 

 

 

im sitting here like, im 15 hello

Age is a state of mind..... 

It's all in the attitude.

I'm 46 (but no grey hair and I keep all of it  , strong and healthy, as I don't drink neither smoke, and was quite into sports), and am quite decent in Planetside 2. Meaning, not and ace, but not easy to frag me, and I have even needed to uninstall it 3 times, as I'm not of the kind that sits one hour and cuts it. And one needs the time for the freelancing, lol. So, been a very long while ( 1 year, I believe) since last match.  Altho using a MSI Afterburner utility or the like to see the time in overlay, or having ye good old clock in the table helps a lot. It's doable, have done it, but lately even that hour is better used in something else.

 

I was tier 4 (back then there where only 4 tiers. Dunno later) in Quake Live (before it was closed to get moved to steam, I never clicked with Steam...) , back then I spent my good 2- 3 hours daily, with often sessions of 5 - 7 hours  !! And got a nice skill, was well approaching my forties, if I remember well.

 

Look, I am a 3D modeler, pixel artist, digital painter, animator and web coder. Seems is not like age is affecting any of that... If anything, take care of your eyesight, that's a great advice.... And games are a second nature to me, while in my childhood THERE WERE NO computers... Was only in my 15s, that I got an Spectrum, I believe, and coded a game with it. Before that, it was the green and orange pre PC machines, the XTs, and also the arcade machines in the pubs. Meaning, I've played invaders there, and later international karate, Street Fighter, etc, lol. It was an addiction already, as with with just one coin u could stay A LONG time, with skill. Indeed, because of that, skill was super key, we had to have it to play, while in the consoles time,which was quite later on, was not super essential, games where more casual, and your "coin" was not an issue. So... that plus we are the generation of the "Quake-cons", the LAN parties+modding events, and got into the MORPGs once already having a job and money (most), it clicked as a novelty with us, as well.  

 

I do not recommend gaming tho, to anyone, if is something you can't control to get below one hour (well, neither social media) or so per day. Is too much of your life you could be doing past that time. 1 hour is fine, as is good for training reflexes (heck, did I get those with Quake, Unreal, etc) and some other abilities, plus is an adrenaline drop, but more than that... dunno, my personal take. I'd prefer to vote for board games. Not because I'm involved in making art for those (which I am), but because I've learned through it that those are way more social : Is not u and your screen, you get to talk and interact with other people "in person", instead of joe517 and wolverine81. There's a huge difference. Even if it were only so that makes u move your butt from the chair. And I mean both board and card games. Of course, nothing is excluding the other : You can do all with good organization....
