I can’t even imagine 100 years from now when gamers are dying every day.
Right now I feel like I can change an account name and email pretty easily and nobody would care. But when that account is 130 years old, someone might start asking questions
100 years? 28% of gamers are in their 30s. 43% are 40 and older. And that’s just in the US. Average life expectancy at birth in the US for people who are now in their 30s and 40s is 74-75.
I think the opposite, if you want to adjust your jumping to judgemental conclusions. I’m old and social. I grew up in a place where nobody gamed or had computers.
Nearly all of the close people in my life did not/do not game. My circle is outdoorsy or go out somewhere people I guess. We have kids and families and precious little free time. I’ve never had friends come over to game or however that goes. I guess I could seek out people who want to game with me, but if someone has free time at the same time as I do, we’d rather do something else.
Aren’t you the one who generalized your situation and assumed most gamers are either young or not that common, so it would take 100 years until it becomes a daily occurrence for gamers to die? It’s already a daily occurrence today.
Sorry I threw out a hyperbolic number to a future time for a conversational thought experiment, despite it being rationally accurate. Someone else shared some data that yes, most deaths are not gamers. 3/4 of deaths are old age over the age of 65, and 6% of people over the age of 65 play video games. But that doesn’t matter. I said you were being judgmental about me as a person for some reason and that wasn’t called for.

You must be quite young or sheltered if you haven’t had a few gamers you knew die already. Not everyone dies of old age.

Hope this broadens your perspective of people.

I didn’t judge anyone.
