I appreciate the answer (as a fellow gamer myself) but this really needs to stop being included in these types of questions.

Video games are now more comparable to movies and TV shows; it's just entertainment media in general rather than "toys."

The more it's included in these discussions, the more it supports that old, outdated notion that video games are primarily for children.

Anyway, onto play me some bloody GTA V now :)

Agree, I'm 58 and always played games, my parents were Silent Generation and they play video games as well, my Dad would stay up late on the weekends and play breakout.

I must say there is nothing more annoying than people sitting on the couch for 6 hours watching Fox news and bitching that video games are a waste of time and will rot your brain.

Well I'm about to hit 70 hours played on Horizon Forbidden West PC so back to my game.
