30’s?? That’s rookie numbers, I’m nearing my 50’s.

Listen here you little shit.

Everyone I know turned 30 and immediately turned to dust from their advanced age. So sad. Also, really messy.

61 in about 3 weeks. I'm older than Pong, and I game every day.

I've got unplayed games older than you!

Nearly 60 and a grandma.

30s are rookie numbers. I'm 52 and still game regularly. I started out playing pong clones in about 1975 hooked up to my tv. I played a lot of zx spectrum games in the 80s, failed my degree in the early 90s because I spent far far far too long playing civ1 on my Amiga. Etc etc.

Yall GOTTA stop pretending 30 is old

ive only been an adult on my own for like 5 years, relax

41 here. PC master race gamer 4 lyf.

30s? My steam account is about to turn 20! My first computer was a C64 and my first console was an Atari 2600... I remember the video game crash... hell, I still have my copy of ET!

posting this on lemmy of all places is hilarious, i have a hunch that half of the userbase is 40+

I know an 84 year old man that has played WoW since vanilla.

Im 60 and been gaming since Wolfenstein 3D.

Even most people in the 50-64 years range play videogames: https://www.techopedia.com/video-game-statistics

Look, it's a cheaper hobby than drinking, or outfitting my vehicle. I don't have the time to retreat to a fishing hole and there's no hunting nearby.

Yes I play video game, geez.

Lol people can be so weird.

I have 70 year old family/coworkers who are like "hey 70 isn't old!"

And then there's Lemmy "hey 18 year olds, what's it like to be minutes from death?"

54. Passed a Linux exam by installing Doom and getting it running with audio.

56 here , started with pong , atari 2600 and still play PC games daily.

I think I find more people in the 28-45 age range that are gamers, than I do people younger that consider themselves such.

Man we sure are suckers for this Facebook level interaction bait.

The fuck with this question. My youngest is barely 31. I guess I'm dust and fading memories. I will watch my anime and horror movies and shout at the clouds with an onion tied to my belt, fuck you very much

48 year old here. Now I feel old.

Original video gamers are like 75. It’s weird to assume that most won’t at least occasionally play.

I’m 48 and play daily. Husband is 43 and has like 2k hours in Baldurs Gate.

Late 40s here... Gaming since 1986 on Amiga

My literal grandparents play video games. They were in their 70s. In fact, they were the ones who taught ME how to play, and my mother (who is not a gamer) remembers them always having the latest console when they were growing up.

Turning 40 on two months! Where my going grey bush gamers at? I got over 600 games in Steam alone and play like 10 of them! Who else?

44 and I have clocked about 40 hours in Final Fantasy XIV this week. When I get home from work, it's game time.

50+. Play every chance I get. Don’t know why it would be surprising, other than Lemmy being an echo chamber of tech-minded younger people who forget my generation started out gaming with Atari and the like.

Look, honestly, I'm more disgusted by the amount of people who don't play videogames.

Some people just hate fun I guess
