We have 70+ year old gamers now; even older if you include mobile games.
The very young are either not developed enough to play, or are so brain-rotted by being exposed to short-form content from birth that games can no longer retain their interest.

Some reasons here. Millennials are going to be the largest gen in the foreseeable future and perhaps ever or at the very least for a century. I think the bigger contributing factor though might be statistics shenanigans of parents being the account holder for the games they buy their kids.

Doctors consider 18-39 young, 37 is still young. Ask a 80 year old if they think 37 isn't young they'll slap you

Nobody real actually considers 30+ "young". Maybe women can get away with it, but 30+ men are viewed differently after 30.

Most games suck
Most games are over priced

The only people still playing games are those who know exactly what they are looking for, or those who are only gaming because their friends are. No new blood is entering the hobby because new games are made for people who don't play games

No kid is going to drop $800 on a PS5, and then get the $80 Wolverine
No kid is going to drop $800 on a Xbox, and then get the $80 Halo

The market has priced everyone but enthusiasts out, and refuses to make games those kinds of people want to play
>>
They're too retarded, mixed and poor. I give it 20 years max until gaming as a whole will morph into literally just sportsball, GTA, Fortnite and Pedoblox to accommodate them. Gacha will probably peter off with asians

>>747606389
Maybe you only associate with really young people, 20 somethings. But I hang with a lot of retirees and they absolutely think ANYTHING under 40 is young and wish they could be that young again lol
>>
>>747606464
You can set up your kid with a Steam account and spent maybe $100 during a sale and they will have dozens of classics they can play for months.

>>747605559
It's okay, I think as casuals are losing interest in video games, you're seeing a huge backlash from the core audience that has gotten tired of the games that catered to them. Just look at the Wolverine game that's the culmination of everything people hate about the industry.

18-24 = young, figuring life out
25-29 = adult, by now you should have figured what you want from life and working towards it
30-39 = should have a secure and steady life, family is optional
40+ = the same as your 30s but if you don't have a family you may feel empty down the road and people will start to judge you

gaming literally has the same arc as TV

remember sad old people addicted to shit daytime TV shows and the shows where they sell stuff by mail order? that's how kids view you

TV used to be insanely novel to boomers, it was emerging tech during their childhood

it's literally 1980s tech to kids today which, if you think about it, would be the equivalent of a trend from the 60s or 70s for many people here comparatively. something like pokemon emerged in the equivalent of the black-and-white TV era for kids now

Assuming you are an old gamer who has the knowledge to curate all that for them, that you have hardware for them they can play, and- most importantly- that they will be interested in playing a paid single player game like Half-Life instead of a free Fortnite or Roblox thing, if they're interested in gaming at all

But the core issue with that example is that its an older enthusiast trying to bring someone into retro gaming, instead of the modern industry naturally attracting younger people and converting them into engaged consumers. If a kid gets a taste for PS2 games or 90's-00's pc games, they'll have content to digest for decades for a fraction of the price and hardware requirements of modern games. Great for them, but to the industry they might as well not exist. I don't even feel bad for the industry either, they've industry done this to themselves over the last 17 years and are expecting us to feel sorry for them.

Its too expensive retard. What did you and these retard companies think was going to happen when they started marketing bullshit like 4k as an excuse to keep prices premium (Google has stated that was the initial point of 4k) but I'm sure retards here will blame da jewz instead of the fact they are retarded buy fags that love feeling superior despite falling for corporate non sense

If the number of young people playing games remains unchanged while more older people play games, the average age goes up.

This is an interesting statistical anomaly caused by the fact that gaming is only 37 years old itself and the fact that there are fewer young people overall.
