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...

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 "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". [/quote]Meanwhile, on another planet, middle-aged women watch "Real Housewives," Emmy Awards are now awarded almost exclusively to TV shows on "premium" channels that load up their shows with nudity and foul language, and Quentin Tarantino is hailed as a filmmaking genius. Just sayin' Not attacking you, CrazzySnipe, just pointing out how the perception of video gamers as immature because of the content of some games is incredibly hypocritical on the part of society as a whole.
