How old is too old to play video games?

[LexInHD]

A great many MMO subscribers are senior citizens. On paper, it's the ideal social activity for older people who can't move around much or don't have the energy for other things.

[John The Grudge]

Never too old.

I also believe it should be ageless. It makes me sad that I know many older folks that refuse to even try video games. I feel they are missing out.

What’s funny is I have an associate trying to guess my age simply on the fact I play games and have a young son. He’s still not guessed correctly

When you're too old to poop, too old to pee, and too old to eat... then it's time to stop playing video games.

[frankenhooker]

I'm in my mid 40s and need to game. What with work, kids, bills and everyday crap I need an escape.

When you reach a certain age, you do (or should) cease to give the remotest semblance of a you-know-what what other people think about what you do.

The luteral time you should stop gaming is if you either no longer enjoy it, or literally when your permanent residence is six feet below ground level.

Any other time there MAY be ways around it...

if you can't move your hands, get an "eyeball tracking mouse".

If you can't see, be a spokrsman for turtle beach snd play games that sre highly sound deprndent, and zero sight dependeent ( if you want to play a regular game by memory of a pattern ALONE, Play that)

Never too old.

How old is too old to care what other people think about how you spend your leisure time? Are we back in high school seeking the approval of others? I'm plenty old, but I'm doing as I please during my second childhood.

So long as gaming doesn’t become detrimental to ones studies (if in school), work or family, then no age is inappropriate. I’m a father/stay at home dad, husband, and self employed. I game and movie after as well as have a large record and music collection, cars and car parts too. But in order to have this life, it’s balance of work and play.
I worked at Movie Time and GameStop and had people come in begging us to take returns because the husband/father or mother/wife had been buying too much and they couldn’t pay a bill or didn’t have food or toilet paper (often came up). If this is an issue, be it movies, gaming, paint ball, whatever the hobby, you need help and a lifestyle change.
I see more adults playing games and being obnoxious in public now than ever before. I think that’s kind of a blow to the culture that was once reserved for kids or conventions. Not to pick on the easy target of Fortnite but in Target there was a group doing that fortnite dance thing together, laughing and carrying on in the Halloween section. They were all 30-50 I guess as some looked older than me and a few younger. Or Pokémon go, most that my wife know are 30-60.
Culture is changing, I got my a$$ kicked for liking super heroes and gaming quietly in school. I read the comics, didn’t dress like them for Halloween, kind of kept to myself, didn’t act on it, didn’t geek out, and I was a ‘nerd/loser/geek’. Now, I see on Facebook the same folks that treated me like that are all into DCU/MCU and gaming. It’s a trip.

The only objectively correct answer is 'Never'.

[Galactus]

No such thing. My father played SNES and N64 games well into his 70's. Anyone tries convincing you otherwise tell them to take a hike.

[erixon20]

I am waiting for the Sega genesis mini that was just released to be hacked/modded...because that has
a lot of good games on it...does that answer your question?

When your hands can no longer work the controller.
