Yea I think the average is at least over 18 either way which is no longer a child. Hell at 16 you’re no child either, you’re a teen, and despite them not being too bright they at least can’t be fooled to think holding a controller in from of a screen = playing
The issue is people are dumb, not age…
Whenever I see people playing anything with Vanguard anti-cheat I cringe my soul out.
Same with Denuvo games.
Just because something works on our computers doesn’t mean we should install it. We have to stand up for those in poorer countries that can’t afford good PC’s by refusing to run unoptimized garble… But alas that will never happen, will it…
In regards to DRM and other privacy concerns we have to stand up for our digital rights to freedom. Our PC’s should be ours but that is less and less normalized today… Our phones are no longer ours already…
Most people are children (western countries have weird age pyramids but that’s nothing compared to Asia), that’s my reasoning. I’m very suprised I’m wrong.
But the adults have the power to tell the kids to go to their room so the adults can play. Also, up to a certain age, you can just let them hold a controller and they think they are playing (or don’t even understand that anyone is playing and just think holding controllers is something fun to do while watching some things).
I’m not a child but young enough to live with my parents, and I have family members who don’t actually understand the stuff I like, so the last 2 or 3 Pokemon games I’ve gotten were because of them lol. They do this with anime I never even watch too. Whatever’s popular, they’ll buy it…
I still haven’t been motivated to finish Sc/Vi, it’s just that boring. Sw/Sh was also a tad mediocre, but I still enjoyed parts of it. At least LA was fun, albiet too short imo.
Rant About Pokemon
But yeah the only thing I like about the new Pokemon games are the characters, music, and designs. Difficulty is abysmal, some villans/teams are fucking dumb (Sw/Sh was ass), and the day-one DLC is killing me. And while I’m far from a graphics snob, when seeing how old Pokemon games like Wii Battle Revolution had such good animation, and new open world games like ToTK and Xenoblade look and perform well, it just makes me wish GameFreak didn’t own the fucking series. And most of all is the lack of creativity.
We haven’t had a PMD game in almost 6 years, snd it’s been a DECADE since the last brand new PMD. Rangers was shot dead out back. Conquest is a corpse. The battle colosseum/revolution series is a skeleton. The last Rumble game was 3DS and was a pay to play mess. Same thing with Shuffle. Fuck Trozei, Dash, Pokepark, all of them. Hell, even Duel was kinda fun and it was a mobile game. I severly doubt if we’ll ever see any of these series again anytime soon. And it’s a shame because these are some of my favorite games in the whole franchise, that I literally poured hundreds of hours into.
Having said that, anyone got any good Mystery Dungeon games to recommend? I tried one of the Chocobo ones and put it down after like 3 hours…
My head canon: Most gamers are children: their parents who have no interest in their kids’ hobbies buy the “biggest game” to show their affection.
The average age of people who play video games is 36-41. Most are not children.

I wasn’t in those statistics (open seas) until i was 24.
I’m pretty sure my cousin (6 y.o) looks like a 46 y.o to the credit card firms because he plays on his father’s phone.
