To me gaming is and has always been a social activity. I was never really one for 1 Player Games. So I'm 40 and I still play & still have just as much interest as ever. The only thing that deters me from playing more or being more interested in it is:
1) Time - As you get older, you get busier, Job, Life, Kids, Dog, Chores, all that crap. It does not leave much time for gaming and it's hard to stay focused and stay into something when you only get to play an hour a week.
2) Energy - Same as time, lol. Basically, I'm getting old so I can't stay up until 2 AM every night gaming...so that does not leave much energy.
3) Social - Right now my only social gaming is with the kids. I feel like I would play more if I had more RL Friends online playing. So I don't have that appeal anymore. As you get older the side effects of #1 & #2 start killing your social life.
So many people get upset about the 4-8 hour games...hell those are the only ones I have time to play. I think the Batman Games are the only games I have played beginning to end in the last 5 years. Hour or so a night and done in a week. They are perfect!
