Are you an adult gamer? Yes. I’m 22 and video gaming has always been my favorite past time and probably always will be. I salute you and also identify with you – I’ve gotten the weird reaction before and I also dont think I’m “too old” to play video games.
Which platforms do you use? I play PS3 and some Wii.
Are you a console gamer or a PC gamer? Console – I got tired of constantly upgrading my machine, too much $$$.
Do you think there’s a target audience for each platform? Definitely. I think ages vary with all of the different kinds of games out there but one thing seems to be consistent – gaming is often only marketed to men.
Do you game with other adults? Yup. Mostly with friends my age. I do play online and have even played MMORPG’s before (EQ being my favorite). Made a really good friend one time with a married 42 year old (I was 17 at the time) – though he was mature, we’d talk about our lives in a very open, relaxed, non-judgmental way. Met a lot of cool people this way from all over – I’d say, ironically, although brings people apart from reality (in some opinions/cases), it has the potential to bring people together quite well.
What do you think about gaming with children and teenagers? My last answer kind of shines my perspective on this – I say, why not? As long as the context is just that: gaming.
