I'm very thanksful for your comment, i still confuse but curious, still find another way to find the user by age

As I pointed out you won't likely get this from Steam, but as those that have done this across gamuing over the years, they all seem to pretty much be standard across all platforms and so on.

So, the University of Washington have data, HMV stores in Britain did a study with a few other partners years ago, and there's other as well. Guinness Book of Records have reported on it in the past too.

So simply use theirs if you can find them.

I'm 37 but I only came to Steam with the release of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. I was a console peasant until then. Now I wont touch them.

If you can find a a source that does not include smartphones or mobile gaming bs.

Average age is at least around 40

Wow. You’re older than my dad. Not saying it’s a bad thing. It’s always nice to have older people playing video games. It would be nice if my grandpa played video games so I can play with him.

The guy (FuzzDad) whose son (Fuzz) who was on the team who created Day of Defeat, is in his 60's.

No it actually isn't.

As I pointed out there are places that have done considerable studies on this around the globe and the largest one I'm aware of was well, two of them in fact. One was the joint Univversity of Washington the other the HMV one and each of those took several years and took in loads. I'm pretty sure they didn't lean on mobile gaming and even if they did it was far less then.

And the results have always been really similar, despite the age of the studies - it's around 33 with a very slight trend upwards (that is NOT pro rata as some seem to leave as other younger ones join).

It's not around 40.

I have a couple of friends in their 80s who play regularly.

Doris Self used to compete for the QBert high score some years ago (she's passed away sadly) - she was in her 80s.

I have so many other friends older than me who games especially in the little gamer group I have with friends from the legal profession.

Probably mid 30s, as the average age of gamers has been mid 30s for at least 20 years.

Pewds would say 100% 9 years old...and 100% of them all turned 19 at some point in the past few years
