I so hate you! :P

The average gamer today is over 30 years old. And in a place like GOG I would expect the average to be significantly older...
We need Sega for the Total War series and other great games that they hold the rights to. And while I love Medieval 2 I still prefer Rome.

I upgraded for BF2 and Medieval II, ah, whole weeks worth of time put into those two alone. I also played tons of AOE 2-3 around that time.

tinyE: Or just immature to the point where is bleeds out of me. XD
Immaturity rocks. My Dad's using it to make up for his intellectuality and creepiness. One time my uncle (his brother) called my Dad on Skype while I was visiting, it was about some important and urgent issue. When my Dad showed up on screen he was wearing a banana on his head. I idolize that man.

Yes I'm pretty sure someone can.

Google can. Although I'm almost positive that your question is just some really sophisticated trolling.
It was a birthday notice. :D

Mine is in a couple weeks. I need to come up with some clever way to give out a game, I hate random.org.

Okay now I am trolling. :P I'll get out of this thread now.

I never ruled out that aspect, but the games aren't really that old to begin with, outside of a select handful.

You guys are all correct in that the demographic is 20+ all the way to 40s, as that's usually the average median. But I never said which was the majority (and I couldn't tell you either way).

odinfan: Most of the games here aren't that old. And what most people consider classics "today" would agree with me. But I'm not disagreeing with you in that regard. I fully acknowledge games like Akalabeth, which have a place in history, but only that.

They're way after an era where people would care, I think. That's what I'm saying.
I think you're taking that a little too literally. :P Even so, of the top 30 bestselling games here only 5 of them were made after 2000. It's reasonable to assume that the people buying those games remember them from their own youth, putting the average age at least a decade higher than your estimate.

According to the ESA in 2014 29% of all gamers in the US were under 18 years old, 32% were between 18-35 and 39% 36 years and older.
Unfortunately all my old games got sold in a garage sale long ago. So bummed about it. Never again!
*Zelda treasure fanfare*
Congrats on finding your old games.

Here is some of my boxed collection from the closet back at my Dad's house:

I'm 35. I remember gaming on my Atari and Colecovision.
