Granted the gap is pretty small. When you turn 60 and retire, you're awesome again if you're still playing.
And of course its just my opinion.
I'm not employed by G4Box and my opinion does not reflect the opinion of the company or any subsidiaries or other staff.
I completely dissagree as most hacks, ragers , and just immature ppl in game are teens who really should be out working hard and having fun ect ect not spending everyday sat playing pc games, but thats his opinion.... what do you guys think ????

And why wouldn't 40 or 50 year olds still play video games? We are the generation that started them. We are the first people that played them in the late 70's and early 80's from the first days of Pong and Commodore (VIC and PET 20, and C-64), and Atari 2600.
Sounds to me as if Dot needs a little more life experience and is simply jealous he was not around from the start like some of us!!

Got a 45 year old guy from Florida in my clan. Awesome guy. Might not have the reactions of us younger members(I'm 25), but he isn't a bad shot either.The_AnimalMo wrote: »And why wouldn't 40 or 50 year olds still play video games?

I'm also 41 and been playing for about year and a half. I see nothing wrong in after getting home from work or when my daughters is in bed.To play some video games occasionally for a laugh and to unwind a bit.
I also owned a zx81 and zxspectrum.Funny Thinking about how Ultimate "play the game" (games developer 80's who made jetpac,lunarjetman eventually changed name to rare and were bought by microsoft some years back nearly 400million dollars now they only make games for xbox360.
If they still love games why shouldn't we? LOL -
Idc how old people are if they show respect and are good gamers.
An thats the point, when i play IG apart from clan i have no idea who i am playing with so when i get talking to someone i never ask how old they are cos i really couldn't care, i judge ppl on how they behave not how old they are : this is a community game , but you would think communitys stop at age 21 by some ppls reaction when you mention your older than that !. -
You can by all means play after forty.An thats the point, when i play IG apart from clan i have no idea who i am playing with so when i get talking to someone i never ask how old they are cos i really couldn't care, i judge ppl on how they behave not how old they are : this is a community game , but you would think communitys stop at age 21 by some ppls reaction when you mention your older than that !.
Just my humble opinion that if you have nothing better to do, you probably didn't end up where you planned to, which is sad.
Few people plan on sitting in front of their PC playing Crossfire instead of playing with their children or doing the wife when they're forty, I'd imagine.
Its not a personal attack, I really don't care who you are or what you do, its just how I would feel and how I do feel. -

What's the difference between playing videogames in the evening and watching shows on television? Most older adults enjoy watching cable tv at home after dinner, why being in front of a computer should be any different?
I think the whole concept of videogames = teenage and young adults has to be re-thought, while it was surprising during the late 80s and in the 90s to see an older adult enjoying himself with videogames, it isn't anymore. It is very presumptuous of you to simply assume that they're not where they planned to be based on that, dot. -
Then that is sad too, that they are exactly where they planned to be - in front of the PC playing games.What's the difference between playing videogames in the evening and watching shows on television?

I don't see myself sitting at home playing video games when I'm forty.
If that happens, I'd be sad.
Obviously I can only project my feelings.
Whether its sad in someone elses mind or not, is of course up to them just as it is me. -
18 going on 19, already bored of video games. Only reason I still play is to talk to some good friends I made over the years. I dont see anything wrong with oler adults playing, I encourage it. There's way too many annoying ass 8 year olds invading M rated games and if I acted the way they do when I was younger, I'd be missing teeth and in a wheelchair.

Thx DOT for replying, just to say i didn't make this thread just to have a go at you.
It was my kids who got me playing this lol, i had not realy played online games b4, my kids love it when we all play together an i own them
, there mates all think its cool they have a dad who do stuff like that with them , this game is not my life i just squeeze it in when i can like all the other things in life i do an i guess for the majority of older players its the same , unfortunatly the majority view is if your older an play you must be sad an have no life .. just not true .. if anything more teens should get more of a life than sitting playin this all day an night .. thats more sad than anything ... -
Playing Crossfire with your kids is awesome.
My image of a guy in his forties playing Crossfire is sitting in a dark room in his undies with a gallon of coke.
Thats the image I object to and call sad.
Some people prefer playing games rather than watching tv. -

Thats fine. Your free time at home with nothing better to do. Got in from work. Food done. Children asleep. A few hours on the pc playing video games before bedtime (;)) wouldnt go a miss for me when im 40.
Its when you spend too much time playing video games at 40.. thats when its a problem.
No/Crappy job, not trying in life. Thats the problem I have with people. I share Dot's feelings in that retrospect.. I think thats what he was trying to put out there. -
Our clan is 25+ with the majority being 30-40 ...if you love doing something when you are 25 why would you stop as you get older? We have great fun gaming it's a great stress reliever..for those with stressful jobs...I have always loved gaming and always will.
