Subsim enthusiasts by age?

Ships-R-Us · 01-12-10, 10:03 PM

I have never seen this posted. I believe I have a worthy question. I found this game a few months ago and really got into it.

I am age 61.

Curious to know the mean age of members here.

Where are the most players?, under 30 yrs?, 30-50 yrs?, or over 50yrs?

If my valid question falls into the realm of a meaningless thread, I won't be alone..........Shipsrus.

40 ish

55 coming up. Once I learned how to spell curmudgeon it sounded like a goal to aspire to.

Ha, I've been wondering too. Good question

I turned 22 yesterday.

It has always appeared to me that the subsim genre attracts an older demographic. And rightfully so; Young people these days seem to be lacking in the patience and logic that sims require. Instead they opt for the fast-paced shooter type games.

Nevertheless, although they are the minority of the gaming world, there are many young people on these forums.

But it's kinda my calling, can't kick it, I'm not a big HALO player.
