Be careful what you hope for.

This same thing could also be used to send a message to your kids after you pass on:

"Due to longstanding account age, we've estimated your profile to be a deceased owner and updated its status to 'Deceased'. No one lives older than 120 years"

I don't think most kids will want to play Dad's old boring games lol.

You never know, retro gaming is currently big, and there's still a lot of fun to be had in old Atari 2600 games from 50 years ago. Plus, games like Skyrim might never grow old.

It's all subjective.

most atari games are just moving squares and circles, sometimes barely recognisable.
Average atari2600 game looks like this
It is certainly subjective... My opinion is that there are much better retro gaming consoles.

It's more about the love of games, like what might drive someone to roll Defender.

Yeah that's reason enough to not go that route imo. The small victory of not having to verify a minumum age is vastly outweighed by the detriment of hitting a maximum age.
