There are pros and cons for either demographic: whilst being older may be ideal since not only you bypass age restrictions, you also have the capability on purchasing it with your own money without having to ask parents for that given that you have employment and recurring income. Gaming as a kid gives more time without having to dwell much on responsibilities that adults have to worry about but at the same time are held by school.
I’m in my early 40s, and I’ve found that I enjoy story-based games played on an easy setting more. Life is stressful enough nowadays, so I don’t need the added stress of competitive gaming.
For me, it’s a different kind of enjoyment. Now, I’d rather let my mind wander through a story-based game than frag anything that moves.
