    Call me a grumpy old man but I’m not sure this is significant beyond “young people play (video) games”. The report seems to show little difference in % of adults gaming between 2004 and 2024

    I mean, I rotate between games, movies, and series. But then again I’m a millennial on the wrong side of 35, so get off my lawn, you goddamn hooligans

    In fairness, movies these days aren’t as good as they were in the eighties, and video games in the eighties… mostly weren’t amazing, and people still play the ones that were good. You can only watch a good movie every so often, but you can play a great game for ages. It’d be weird if we didn’t see this trend.

    I’m in my 40s and I’m with them. Movies can be cool, but I tend to like an interactive experience more.
