Title: Will you still be gaming when you're older?

I know some of us already "old" by internet standards, lol, but i'm talking past 50. 60's, 70's, even 80's?
Will you still be gaming when you're older? Gaming grannies and gramps?
Me personally, I think I'm gonna game till I just can't game no more. :D

Unless Activision takes over the whole industry and every game needs a peripheral that requires you to do things, then I think I will be.

I'm hoping that a way will be found to allow a corpse to keep playing. That's the method for me.
Of course, probably more convenient would be a method for everlasting life, but I'm not picky.

the way it seems, yes since according to most people i should have grown out of it by now.

ive seen some programs that do studies of how hard games can be for older people cos of the reduced vision and dexterity. it can be unplayable.
lets hope we all stay healthy

I'll probably play as much as I normally do until I physically can't anymore. Which might be sooner than later? What with all my computer use and drawing regardless of any gameplay I'm sure I'll get arthritis or carpel tunnel and probably sooner than I would without such hobbies. *shrugs*
Oh well. Plenty of other things to do XD

i have gamed since 74 (though my mom insists since 72). i have no intention of stopping until death.
i just hope that all gaming doesnt go the way of the Wii.

I've been gaming since I was 5 (now 15) my parents and everyone think I'm wasting my life well if I am I'm not going to do much with my life because if gaming keeps on getting better I'm prety sure I'd still be gaming even if it was illegal I'm pretty sure I told Doc (dr.thinker) that.

Till the bitter end! It doesn't matter if my reflexes get even worse than they already are (and they bite the root)--I mostly play strategy games, and the odd RPG, anyway.

i have thought 100s of times in my life how sad i would be if i was in some accident and could no longer play games... hmmph. no thought about if i couldnt walk, or see, or something... as long as my gaming limbs work.
is that sad? :lol

Yes, as long as they keep making good games and I don't get a devestating physical disability.
