Remember When You Were Kids?

I don’t really remember being a kid. The few parts I do remember are not pleasant, so I try to avoid such memories. I think only privileged kids had their own car in high school. Most kids I know didn’t start driving until after they graduated; and didn’t have their own car until they had a real job.

But video games, yes kids who could afford it, or had generous parents often had video games. But that was the video game generation! Those same kids (who are adults now) are the ones still buying most of the video games (which are now targeted to adults). The average gamer is 35 years old and 72 percent are age 18 or older. Women age 18 and older represent a significantly greater portion of the video game-playing population (31 percent) than boys under age 18 (18 percent).
