The average video gamer is now 36 years old — but Gen Alpha and Gen Z are most likely to play games.

I find it odd when i go to a random barber who is 19-25 or so asks me what i like. I tell them video games, but it never results into anything, because to them videogames are usually fifa or call of duty. They have never even heard of the games i play. Compared to when i was like 10, everyone seemed to play the same games.

It was more niche when you were 10 so if people were playing games they were probably playing similar games. Plus, the people you were meeting probably had a higher probability of the same interests at that age
