14 DAY TRIAL // What's that all about? It's not like the world has run out of young people or that women have gone sterile, is it? The big companies are concerned by something everyone knows the answer to, but they have to stand up every once in a while and remember people that they are there and that they care. The article posted on Wall Street Journal highlights the fact that, as people age, they are less interested in video games as life takes another course every 10 years or so, for each person.
The article continues to emphasize the fact that music, film and video games become aspects of less and less interest for the common person, who's life goals become raising a child, keeping a steady job and advancing in their career as they grow older. All these facts are more than true, seeing that even I don't have time to play video games anymore at age 22, and it's not because I don't want to (heck..., I love them), but because I have other, more important priorities like always being on time at work, doing a whole week's shopping in one day or cleaning up the place where I live. I'm not complaining or anything but trying to get everything done just doesn't leave any more time for video games.
Now, are these "expert opinions" really necessary? Isn't it obvious that growing older means more responsibilities and less fun? Heck, if life were that easy and we could play all the time on our consoles or computers, the only problems game making companies would have were "where to stash all the cash" and since it's not so far from the truth either, I don't see why they're complaining. Oh, I forgot, they're not complaining, they care...
