I'm grey (but still working), and old genX, people my age often retire. I play First Person shooters, mainly. About 12h per week on Destiny 2, all PVP, currently. Destiny is nigh-dead so I'm looking for a replacement soon.
Not a lot of indie games doing that genre well, sadly. I was going to play battlefield 6 then looked at ownership... EA was a nasty company from the beginning but is now owned by Jared the Lich Kushner and some Saudi oilymoney. Woof.
