Do you see yourself still playing video games at an older age?

Gaming is one of those hobbies I've always convinced myself I'll never truly stop enjoying and if time allows for it and my body and health permits me I will probably continue playing them well into my elder years

This post makes the assumption most who answer have been playing video games for awhile and are probably anywhere from early adulthood to late 30s early 40s

So with that out of the way do you see yourself continuing to boot up games sometime in the distant or (depending on your age) not-so-distant future as an older individual?

I hope so! I'm sure I'll be reading books and watching movies and listening to music for as long as I'm able to, so I don't see why videogames would be any different.

Oh, absolutely! Furthermore, I feel like I would still be playing games into my old age even if I stopped playing new releases from this moment on. There are SO many old games I still want to play!

Fortunately, my favourite genres are turn-based roleplaying games, and grid-based tactics games. So even as my physical reflexes decline, as long as my brain is still functioning, I’ll be able to enjoy many of my favourites!

I think so. I got back into it as a stress relief and just another enjoyable outlet for me. There's this lady online that's in her 90s and she loves playing Legend of Zelda games. I aspire to be like her. Just at peace with my hobbies.
