>Somehow we never got a significant market of computer games for adults
Most of today's gaming industry is targeting adults. Kids rarely have the money to purchase 70$ games more than once or twice a year.
- emodendroket 3y agoTheir parents very well might.
- oytis 3y agoOK I mean real adults :) The same demographics who you would imagine as a typical reader of Agatha Christie or Tom Clancy, football or horse race enjoyer in the era before computer games and internet
- Macha 3y agoI think the idea that thriller novels or horse racing are more mature than video games questionable, however. Your average adult thriller (or hollywood AAA movie) has a plot that would sit right alongside video game plots.
- emodendroket 3y agoDon’t you think someone who only ever consumed pulp genre fiction might be thought of a bit negatively?
- Macha 3y agoThe claim was that readers of Tom Clancy are more mature than video gamers. I found that claim surprising.
- the_only_law 3y agoOnly as much as someone who’s only ever read shallow corny “action” novels.
- emodendroket 3y agoUh, isn’t that the same thing?
- the_only_law 3y agoWhat the hell do you think Tom Clancy writes.
- emodendroket 3y agoGenre fiction? What are you trying to say?
- zer0tonin 3y agoUbisoft literally has dozens of games branded "Tom Clancy's", so I think we're not too far from that
