    Normally I would agree… But there is a seriously real difference between someone who plays csgo dota and hoi4 vs someone who plays animal crossing splatoon and peak.

    Its fundamentally two entirely different demographics which no over lap. Both are gamers but only one set are “gamers”.

    Anyone who’s been around long enough knows how fast the gap between the groups are.

      Yeah I have no idea why you lumped first person shooter players, moba players, and 4x players in the same category. Talk about fundamentally different demographics.

      Edit: by the way, I love the Endless series (Legends, Space 2) and love Animal Crossing. I also have 5000 hours in Tarkov. Peak is also fun.

      About ten years of age range, for the most part.

      Yeah, famously, people never get older

        Which of these groups do you expect to be older, I honestly cannot tell. I swear, not bait.

        Personally, I’d expect the nintendo group of these two to be the older one.

          In my experience, you start out playing Splatoon as a kid and then you discover CSGO when you get to HS/College and then you get a job, get married, have kids, and its back to playing Splatoon.

          I can almost guarantee that 4x players are the oldest, yes this is a vibes based assumption.
