MODERATORS
 

New research shows a massive generational divide in game genre preferences. A study by MIDiA Research surveyed 9,000 gamers across several countries including the US, UK, Germany, and South Korea. It found that online player-vs-player games are more popular than single-player ones among audiences aged 16-24. Only 30% of this bracket wants to play alone, while a whopping 68% of them would rather play online or couch co-op.

My old ass can't compete in multiplayer games anymore.

Now I enjoy my slow pace / turn-based games when I want to relax.

It makes sense to me the older we get, the less time we spend gaming.

If I have to trade a solid 8 hours of sleep or play 1 hour or 2, the bed is winning.
