i'm curious about what people think about this, i felt the age should be between 20-30.
How old? When I'm dead.

It's not really a question of age, is it? (But people shouldn't do immature, imbecilic things like, say, leaving a baby alone while you go play games. Everything in moderation.)

Gaming is just one of many forms of entertainment. There is no age limit, as every person has their own individual tastes no matter what their age is. If you like gaming, there is no defined age where all of the sudden you will stop liking it LOL.

We don't know. PCs have only been around for about 25 years so no one's reached that age yet. [/QUOTE]That is my point of view, exactly. Especially RPGs.

Whenever ou feel like it. You shouldn't ever have to stop doing something you enjoy. I can't see myself ever stopping.

When should you stop? When you no longer enjoy it.

When should you give up those weekend-long non-stop gaming sessions? When they get in the way of the rest of your life, and if you fail in the rest of your life, you won't be able to do those weekend-long non-stop gaming sessions.

IOW, don't forget about the rest of the world. As you get older, it's harder to keep the ROW out of things.

I am 17 and don't play them anymore. I haven't played a game for around 7 months now. Just stopped. I also stopped posting on IW at the same time.

I want to be buried clutching my PC, with my XBox 720 (or whatever they will be upto) buried next to me in its own plot.

I started when I was 6, and I'll stop when I am 106, arthritic, senile, and dead

In moderation of course.

Anyone who says that playing computer games is immature is not very well aquainted with them or maturity.
