NY Times: Game stigma is industry's fault

Aug 16th 2006 6:06AM (Joystiq)
I am 30 y.o and never stopped playing video games since I was 14 when I first purchased (or better my parents bought me) a Commodore Amiga 500.

I believe that the stigma mostly comes for people who never really bothered playing video games and dismiss them as an activity for children. According to some stats the average age of gamers today in the US is 30 y.o - this seems to be forgotten by many including some software developers.

Does it feel weird when you walk into an EB games store and you look at the same games as a 14 year old kid? Not really... Most of the times I find myself surrounded by other "30 year old kids" who share the same interest in games like I do.
