Average Age of Players Concerningly Low

[Lain]

I am not sure if it is or not or maybe this is all games but what do you think the average age of players are in this game. I kinda enjoy it at times, its simple not really graphically violent and fun but i am put off that there are so many lower teen agegrouped people. I am not into many multiplayer games so idk if this is common or expected or this is just a childrens game.

The average age is likely around 10 - 18. Highly varied because it's a free game, and the visuals slightly lower that average. Not really a kid's game, it just happen to attract more kids

Depends on what you are playing.
Washington Easy Rocket servers have a lot of 12 year olds, who are surprisingly good at PVP, but super salty in chat.
PEI Normal Vanilla has a bunch of noobs who don't know how to use mics, that's always nice.
Russia (especially normal or vanilla) usually has a good community.
Hawaii has a bunch of nice people who play on empty servers with their friends
Yukon has only veterans and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing people, lots of modders and map makers, serious but fun.

Plus the 20 year old tryhards who make "unturned clans" and talk on Discord all the time.

I have noticed that there are kids in the arena mostly in the age 7-12. Very incomprehensible and very irritating. Another thing that I expected but they are very violent, don't have any respect and are very bad in chat.

If you ask about average age on multiplayer then I wouldn't know. If you ask in general then I'd say I'm dragging the average up quite a notch.

I've been a gamer for over 30 years now while I started relatively late (about the average age you suggest here), so go figure

There is hope yet! I'll keep Yukon in mind!

When some childrens play some game, it doesn't mean this game is for childrens. I saw a 12 years old children playing COD black ops 3!

the age restriction should be like 14 cus thats when kids start to become more mature

Even with an age restriction kids would still play. There are kids who play GTA V. And not all little kids are bad, there are lots of older people who get on arena servers and cuss out little kids, way worse than innocent squeaking

OP: Average Age of Players Concerningly Low

My take on it is threefold:

• Originally posted by Yarrrr:

  it's a free game

• The graphics' simplicity, and the fact such graphics are usually used by kids-targetted and/or sandboxy games.
  
• I read before that a population surge of kids happened after PewDiePie played the game.

People differ, so sadly there isn't a clear cut-off date, so either we'll over-restrict or under-restrict. Then again, the servers are a free market, a server only succeeds when there's a community who like it.

Please clarify, are old people not allowed to play Unturned, form teams, hit the fight hard, and/or socialize on the web?
