There’s something biological going here I would think. 30 is about the age where fluid intelligence peaks but crystallized intelligence continues to grow for a few more decades. Also, 30 is about the age where a lot of us come into our own as the person we will more or less be for the rest of our lives. I know for myself that in my teens and twenties, music was part of the process of defining myself. By my early thirties, I had grown out of that phase and mine or someone else’s taste in music was irrelevant to how we viewed each other. Interestingly, like many men, I have not touched a video game since the age of thirty even though I’ve had the time.

- DEADMEAT 3y agoI'm curious about your experience with older men not playing video games? I'm in my mid-thirties and I would say that the overwhelming majority of my male friends and co-workers play video games recreationally. Video games are more popular and accessible than ever, so I guess I'm confused about why someone would age-out of the hobby?
- BenFranklin100 3y agoPerhaps it’s just been my personal experience or maybe a Gen X thing? I tried getting back into playing video games a few years ago. I gave up after a weekend. It was dead boring. I’d much rather read the paper.
