Orchomene your name is similar to the home town I'm from, Orchomenos.

And by the light of the moon

He prays for their beauty not doom

36...happily married (sorry Atton...)...spoiled rotten and constantly immature. Or something.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

That's fun, I thought Orchomene was an old mesopotamian name. Where is your birth town ?

I'm twenty three.

I'm 29, and I think I'm actually less mature now than I was when I was 18.

 

It's much better this way.

 

My bf's not happy that I'm always hogging the Xbox though. :p

Please review my fanfic!

Hm.. 21. It's very common to see a higher average of age in RPG communities as opposed to those of other genres, IIRC. There's usually also a healthier mix of either gender.

Really? I'm from Greece too! :)

This higher age of gamers in this poll isn't surprising to me at all.

 

I think it was last year that a report conducted by the gaming-industry was released which showed the average age of the gamer (across all platforms) to be 27.

 

This of course was a wake-up call for game developers/publishers, who were still catering to the young teenage demographic, which they thought to be the majority. Not so.

 

The gaming community is maturing -- and I love it, because I consider gaming an art form just as books or film. We may see many more "mature" (in the sense of sophisticated) game releases in the coming years.

 

The only alarming development is the consolidation of the big publishers. But as with all things in life, the bigger fish are slow and unflexible. There might then be a renaissance of innovative gaming coming from small up-start companies who will soon be able to self-publish on the internet.

i'm just turned 21 :D , 4 days ago and i think the "0-10" is really exist, my nephew, was 9 and he's alot better player than me it's sucks, but ussualy younger people plays better :ermm:

Steam ? Almost everyone hates it although I think it's a good thing for developers, they should get the money for their games.

yes i also think that the gaming community has matured.

Video gaming is a relatively new form of entertainment and many believe that games are played only by kids.

 

Video games companies should mature too if they want to keep up with the change.
