Are ever too old to play video games?

Is that a penguin restaurant game? Cuz if so, I am guilty, though it was a few years ago I last played.

I think if you enjoy it and you're not hurting anyone, go for it. I've played many games that are seemingly aimed at children before and enjoyed them. Some have actually turned out to be extremely difficult and would be pretty much impossible for the apparent age range to play. Can't think of any good examples of that right now, so it just makes me sound like I'm shit at games

My next target is assassins creed 4. Was planning to play it today but... events have conspired against me.

I just finished a 10 hour session of Skyrim. Hell no, you're never too old!

You can never be too old to play video games.
I played space invaders at the corner shop for 20 cents a game as a kid and last night I went for a spin on GTA 5.

I don't get much time to play though.
What would be immature is if I neglected my friends, family, housework, gardening, bills, job or pets on account of playing for too long a period of time.

I feel that being an adult means shedding the habits of childhood, video games, ghost stories, and fairy tales (Religion, and new age forms of it). This growing industry made $46.1 billion in 2014(http://www.statista.com/statistics/23718...s-revenue/). Plenty of adults play them; but, is there point to where you have to say to yourself this is a stupid activity which drains my bank account? My point came to when I looked the cost of a console, accessory's  and software. I was spending kind of a lot of money on these items. Fighting a dragon, playing a solider in a Geo-political war, or a super solder who fight's aliens. I grew up on them, and sold everything two years ago involving video games. Does any one else feel that people over 25 should stop playing video games and grow up?

We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing.
Lets keep young people.

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.

I'm attempting to build a game with Construct 2 and PyxelEdit. Hopefully, in two months you guys won't be too old to try it out.
