    Yeah. I'm going to be playing games when I'm 90. It's only sad when grown-ups don't play games.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I don't see a problem with "older" people playing games.

    Yeah, why stop? Computer games can be enjoyed at any age.

    If you follow what you just said and play games till age 25 what are you going to do after then magically make yourself not enjoy it and stop? Hell I'm probably going to play video games till the day I die! (Hopefully they'll still make FFs by then!)

    I'm hoping that They decide to stop making FF's just after I complete the very last one ever. Then I'll die happy.

    There's no reason why universally people should stop playing video games but there will be those who will find the video game concept boring after a period of time.

    For example I no longer enjoy chocolate bars as much as when I was a child.

    I don't see why not, they just play on older consols (it doesn't hurt their eyes as much, or so my parents say)

    The entire Wii campaign is based around the idea that people of all ages will be playing the console. Computer games aren't just for kids anymore. The fact that we have 18 rated games is evidence of that.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    If adults shouldn't be playing games then they shouldn't be watching movies or listening to music. Games shouldn't be your life unless you plan on making your career somewhere in the game's industry, but if someone wants to play a couple hours after their kids go to sleep or with their kids, why not? The important thing is not to overdo it and to keep your immediate responsibilities in mind.

    I play a lot, moreso than most people, but I don't think I will be playing as much if I have a family.
