Why do adults play kiddie games?

I'm stumped. Do they suffer from severe autism? Is it a ploy to attract children?

Why at 30 years old would you choose to play candy colored Mario rather than a profound game like Battlefield?

Same with adults who watch cartoons and animated flicks. It's just pedophilic.

I'm 34 years old. I still enjoy playing Mario games because they are fun. I will watch the odd animated movie because they're usually well done and have a lot of adult jokes hidden in them. I'm sure some people do it because they suffer from autism. Humans are creatures of habits and a lot of people find solace in simple, familiar things.

I'm sure there are pedophiles out there that play children games to attract children too.

I don't know what is so profound about Battlefield though. A lot of adults don't have time to play complicated games that require a lot of effort. Everyone has their own opinions. Hope this helps.

@odumc:

If you say negative things to get a rise out of people, you're demonstrating negative social behavior. You are acting like an infant that spills milk to get attention. Except you're an adult and you're still doing it. I think you need to find some different priorities in this life, it's too short to be a negative person. Do something you and your family can be proud of. Trolling on a message board is reinforcing crippling social behaviors that will negatively impact your life.

@odumc:

What kiddy games are we talking about? Mario is an exception because he's a legendary videogame character from simpler times.

When you'll be an adult you'll play game because they are fun instead of feeling like your manhood is threatened if you don't play competitive multiplayer shooter game.

Also there is more kid or teen playing games like COD and battlefield than adult, especially online.

They tag a M+ on a game case but it is always because of blood and curse word ... they aren't deeper, more profond, more intellectual than game without blood and curse word but kids feel like they are "mature" because to do play those.

Nope. Locking this garbage.
