I remember when I was a teen, adults would say "aren't you too old for video games?" They didn't understand that even then, many games were catering to older gamers. And all the games were being created by gamers who were old enough to be out of university. That's why they would get mad at games like Doom, for being hyper violent. Cause according to so many people, games were only for children.

I feel like that has gotten better. I game while my daughter games next to me all the time.
