You're too old to be here, opinions?

So I recently had some thread posts and PM's with some younger members about being too old to be on this site. Personally I think the demographic for Halo is older than teenager but I'd like to hear from the community about age on B.net? Also for reference I am 36 and here's some recent gamer age statistics from Australia - [quote]Average age for an Australian gamer is now 32...

  • All the people in here advocating the happy-go-lucky "you can game at any age idea" are ignoring the fact that, on the whole, as a form of entertainment, games are still mainly geared towards and mainly played by kids and early20somethings. "Mature" games actually just throw in as much immature language and gore they can fit on the screen, thus lowering the bar of expectation for the gaming community as a whole as well as the public perception of said community. Because of stuff like this: 30+ year old "gamers" who "game" on a regular basis are looked down on by society as participating on a childish hobby and as still playing with "toys". P.S. I'm just trying to keep in mind the ideals of the public, non gamer/anti-gamer community. These aren't necessarily my thoughts on gamers/gaming (except for the part about M rates titles).
