“I am 54 years old now,” he said, “and I grew up with games – but I think I was also the first generation that grew up with games. So when I’m going into retirement, when I’m 70 years old, that should be the peak. That should be the peak of our install base, that should be the peak of people that have actually grown up playing games on a daily basis.”
That’s not how demographics work, buddy
Grey gamers are just gamers. My old man has been gaming since Pong and today you’ll find his dusty self kicking your ass in Dune: Awakening.
The growing yet underserved market for grey gamers
ahem - Greymers
Mom was tanking WoW at 72.
All of those games already exist and were made in the 80s/90s
The game companies are just mad that they can’t profit from them twice
For real. Last time I checked, my dad was playing RuneScape.
Yes they could, they’re just too stupid to do so. Nostalgia sells, companies like Analogue prove that.
Atari Pitfall!™ Game of the century ultimate edition + Medicare Battlepass + Dental DLC
Myst
Ultima Underworld
That, or casual mobile games like ad infested solitaire or candy crush. Hell, I’ve even seen commercials on the old people’s channel in my area for a casino slot machine game on mobile.
I don’t think we need to look far for games for retired people.
Whatever pushes your button
“Nobody’s making games for the retired people”
Does Facebook not host games anymore?
they host alot of right wing propaganda and adding some scams.
Retired folks are whiny bitches, is it not enough for them that they fucking own all the housing and money?
Wow. Pot meet kettle.
tl;dr: they are trying to invent a way to get more money from retired people
When I worked at Sierra in the late 90s their biggest selling game was Trophy Bass, a fishing simulator. I honestly don’t know anything about the customer demographics but I bet it included a lot of retired people. Another consistent seller was card games, which my boss said were primarily bought by older people. But that was almost 30 years ago.
Hell Let Loose is such game
Cozy games are fabtastic
they dont play games though. only few that do make the news somewhat. and usually its "healthy games, like puzzles and word based games.
They increasingly are, because they were gamers growing up.
Old people 30 years ago didnt understand all the fuss about these newfangled Mario’s, but old people today were those kids.
I’m going to be speedrunning The Secret of Monkey Island when I retire.
I want this but with Only Murders in the Building IP
Not a terrible idea… Or maybe something more like Seance at Blake Manor gameplay-wise
