Is there a certain age where you're supposed to stop playing video games?

I'd imagine so. I stopped at around 12. There are much more productive things to do in life than play games on your phone. I'm 25 and I have never downloaded a game for my phone nor have I ever played one. I'm 100% serious.

  The funny thing about Pokemon Go is watching 12 year olds walk around with their parents playing Pokemon Go, but they can't play because they don't have smartphones

  I'd imagine so. I stopped at around 12. There are much more productive things to do in life than play /music/ on your /piano/. I'm 25 and I have never /purchased/ a /book of sheet music/ for my /piano/ nor have I ever played one. I'm 100% serious. Yeah, all those amateur piano players are serious losers.

  Mmmmh...ever considered that maybe not everything in your life needs to be "productive"?

    You have reached your "Adult" stage and now you must squeeze out some babies and do only serious things like paperwork until you die.

  Pokemon Go isn't my thing either, but I don't see any reason to not be glad that other people are outside having fun and enjoying something.

  Oh. Well not everyone is a gamer and that's fine, but adult gaming is not a new phenomenon and it's not just pokemon, it's a pretty huge industry. I'm sure there is something you do for fun that others might regard as a pointless activity. Still, I'd be willing to bet that there is a video game out there that you'd thoroughly enjoy (be it mobile, PC, whatever), 13 years is a long time to have never played any games and a lot has happened in the industry; I say this earnestly and not as a judgement, one day when you're feeling open minded, consider taking some gaming recommendations from a gamer friend who knows you well, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Why? I never understood that attitude.
