I am replaying Skyrim again too. My neighbor did not like video games but saw me playing Skyrim. With the help of her family, I talked her into trying the game and now she loves it. She is 46 and used to mainly just play Facebook games. Last night she said that she hoped she lived to see video games where we could step into the virtual reality.
There are a lot of people who would love video games if they viewed them as interactive movies where they were the hero. Unfortunately people mainly do what they are told and society has told those people that certain groups won't like video games. If they fall into one of those groups that they are told will dislike video games,(like my group, middle aged women) they won't even give the games a chance to see if they might actually enjoy them.

There is some evidence that playing video games can help the memories of elderly people.
