I finally figured out why most adults dont like videogames

So was working today and I was putting up call of duty ghost games on the shelf. I asked my co worker if he plays call of duty and he told me that he doesn't like video games and he never got into it. I asked him how is that possible, he told me that he never played them as a kid so he could never get into them when he was an adult. So does that mean the only reason we like video games is because we played them as a kid? Is that the reason why most of our parents don't see why we spend countless hours on them(I know mines do)? Mind=blown

Last time I played any other games than Pokemon and ACNL was Aug 8 according to Steam.
Sometimes it just get boring and I am in my mid 20's.

Also if you look at this artical: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21116544
She is 86 years old and been playing games for 40 years.
So she started playing when she was 45~46 years old.
So anyone can play even older gents.

Also have you seen farmville and angry birds they are all adults who buy that stuff!

The cool thing is Microsoft and Sony target market is people is 20 years old to 50 years old (the average is 35) .
This is based on an article I saw 2 or 3 years ago.

The reason for that they are the ones with money.
But you also have to see that back in 2011 Microsoft was targeting kids, reason is: Kincet! It has no buttons so kids can play games too with no learning curve.

Nintendo in the other hand is another story since they are trying to do that whole "everyone" thing.

I'm about the same except I go in spurts. I know many people around my age who still play and get every system, its not my thing anymore but to each their own.

Video games does not equal call of doody.

thats for anyone that doesn't know this. ^

People can make any excuse for not doing something-> the only valuable information is what they are doing at that moment in time.

And what this person says is that he doesn't play. He could be lieing-> whatever.

If that person does not play video gamez-> can't blame anything except his own decision.
