The study found that 45% of people 50-plus are gamers. Among these gamers, 45% say they spend time gaming every day. Notably, women lead the way in daily activity, with 52% playing every day vs. 37% of men.
With staying sharp in mind, the top genres are consistently puzzle and logic games at 73%, followed by card and tile games (69%), word games (58%), brain games (37%), trivia and traditional board games (32%), and gambling, casino, or poker games (31%). Still played but less popular are arcade, educational, strategy, and shooter games.
Misschien niet de "hardcore" gamer (in de VS) die je verwacht, maar het neerkijken op digitale spelletjes begint op deze manier wel langzaam aan verleden tijd te worden. Al gok ik dat er altijd wel zal worden neergekeken op overdreven fantasiewerelden en oorlogssituaties ongeacht het genre. Tafelspellen in digitale vorm zijn domweg extreem veel acceptabeler.
