Just curious how old people in this community are, it would be nice to have a better understanding of the general demographic we are talking to and deal with...

So System Wars, how old are you?

This forum doesn't represent gamers in the real most gamers are teenagers at least the ones that actually play on a regular basis

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/average-age-of-us-gamers-now-30/1100-6380546/

That's from a few years back and only accounts for the U.S. Either way it's telling.

That article was from 4 years ago.

http://www.theesa.com/about-esa/industry-facts/

Nothing changed. The average age of a gamer in the U.S. is 35 years old. A Google search would show you this. It's not like people that are 30 quit playing all of a sudden.

I expect at least 75% to lie about their age

I'd be willing to wager the majority of this board is between 12-20

Anyway, 36.

38 - been around here for around a decade now. Things have really changed.

I remember the craziness this forum had in the middle of last gen... and it was amazing! so much different now. Then the SJW invasion...ughhh (at least this forum wasn't made into a crazy pit of censorship and marxist radicalism like some other sites)... miss the good ole days!

Threads like these make me realize I am getting old :( ..... But at least I have good gaming memories....

Those guys don't play regularly you don't need a study to know most people who game on a regular basis are teenagers and kids

Most gamers are in their 30s.

We 80s kids are part of the boom in videos games.

Gen X all the way!! Damn right and why I find it repulsive that many younger gamers are ok with Censorship... people from gen x are usually all about freedom!

The 80s rocked!! And the 90s were great for gaming as well (at least the early and late parts...the middle 90s' not so much).

Same here. I'm getting too old for this place. But posting here from work is the only cure for boredom and this place is a decent place to come for fanboy lolz and news.

Let's face it guys, SW is the only place where we can come and be immature manchildren on the internet. This place brings me back to my childhood arguments about Nintendo vs SEGA (SEGA FTW!)

I've read it nothing there shows they are playing games to the standard that I consider to be a gamer. There is a difference between a gamer and a casual in my eyes.

@ConanTheStoner: 40's feel rough depending on what kind of punishment you've put your body through. I was a sports player from like 5 years old. Contact football, hockey, karate, then the Army in my 30's. I feel now dude. Blown out right hip, back issues, hernia. But I still think about getting on skates and playing hockey again. My mind doesn't want to believe I can't do things anymore.

Sounds like you've had your fair share of memorable experiences though! That's gotta count for something.

@khoofia_pika: The most damage I've suffered was self inflicted and emotional and psychological due to being an alcoholic /addict. Nothing from sports or the Army compares with the the shame of self destructive behavior.

That said, all I can say is I am grateful to be alive and hope to be of service to others if I can.

would a 15 year old tell the truth about his age in these forums though ?

When I was 15 I'm pretty sure there was at least one case of me lying about my age, especially over the internet.

Arguing with 30 year old people on a forum thriving with fanboys that are 5-15 years older than I am.

Bring it on !
