It’s called World of Warships, pretty sure they check if you fart dust or served on those WW2 ships before they give you an account
There seems to be plenty. I don’t even know what the article is talking about. I got games 8 want to play coming out my ass. An old timer with a PC could put in a thousand hours just between NMS and Skyrim stuff. Plus games like slay the spire and boulders gates and rdr2. Stardew Valley, and Kingdome come deliverance 2 and all sorts of rpgs.
Grey gamers are just gamers. My old man has been gaming since Pong and today you’ll find his dusty self kicking your ass in Dune: Awakening.

“I am 54 years old now,” he said, “and I grew up with games – but I think I was also the first generation that grew up with games. So when I’m going into retirement, when I’m 70 years old, that should be the peak. That should be the peak of our install base, that should be the peak of people that have actually grown up playing games on a daily basis.”
That’s not how demographics work, buddy
All of those games already exist and were made in the 80s/90s
The game companies are just mad that they can’t profit from them twice
For real. Last time I checked, my dad was playing RuneScape.
Atari Pitfall!™ Game of the century ultimate edition + Medicare Battlepass + Dental DLC
Myst
Ultima Underworld
That, or casual mobile games like ad infested solitaire or candy crush. Hell, I’ve even seen commercials on the old people’s channel in my area for a casino slot machine game on mobile.
I don’t think we need to look far for games for retired people.
Whatever pushes your button
Yes they could, they’re just too stupid to do so. Nostalgia sells, companies like Analogue prove that.
The growing yet underserved market for grey gamers
ahem - Greymers
Mom was tanking WoW at 72.
tl;dr: they are trying to invent a way to get more money from retired people
“Nobody’s making games for the retired people”
Does Facebook not host games anymore?
they host alot of right wing propaganda and adding some scams.
When I worked at Sierra in the late 90s their biggest selling game was Trophy Bass, a fishing simulator. I honestly don’t know anything about the customer demographics but I bet it included a lot of retired people. Another consistent seller was card games, which my boss said were primarily bought by older people. But that was almost 30 years ago.
Kids are catching up to the old folks playing Billatro. Lol
Cozy games are fabtastic
Hell Let Loose is such game
I’m going to be speedrunning The Secret of Monkey Island when I retire.
I want this but with Only Murders in the Building IP
Not a terrible idea… Or maybe something more like Seance at Blake Manor gameplay-wise
they dont play games though. only few that do make the news somewhat. and usually its "healthy games, like puzzles and word based games.
Lol. You’re becoming more full of shit with each year that passes. The majority of people who grew up gaming are about 50 now, and the average gamer age has gone up pretty much every year for the last 30 years. I’m in my 40s now and most of the people I know my age play video games. You think we’re suddenly going to just stop for some reason? if anything it will just increase as we have kids that move out and work fewer hours and slow down on doing as much physical stuff. What you think we plan on doing to pass the time when we’re 65?
They increasingly are, because they were gamers growing up.
Old people 30 years ago didnt understand all the fuss about these newfangled Mario’s, but old people today were those kids.
