There are pros and cons for either demographic: whilst being older may be ideal since not only you bypass age restrictions, you also have the capability on purchasing it with your own money without having to ask parents for that given that you have employment and recurring income. Gaming as a kid gives more time without having to dwell much on responsibilities that adults have to worry about but at the same time are held by school.
College Adult, growing up my parents only let me play games on the weekends and even then it was rare that I could play for longer then like 2 hours. Most my crazy long gaming sessions occurred when I was at a friend’s house and it turned into an obsession because of how much I was limited.
You should add a third category, cause I had the best time playing games in college. So many late night gaming sessions with friends, and while I didn’t have money to buy many games, there were ways to obtain them.
As an adult I have more money and pretty good at balancing gaming with everything else, but it’s mostly solo gaming because friends I would play with in college are also busy all the time
Thats the correct. Young adulthood.
Too young to be a real man, and too old to hang with the kids, but enough job money and time to afford any game you want and all the time to play it.
