[Akarov]

I would be interested in seeing this if the 15-25 demographic was split.

21 three days ago.

Happy barfday for then, dude! Hope it was a good'n!

22, here! (Still a man-child though.)

[Sunseeker]

15-25 category is way too huge. You should have made it like 15-19 20-24

Yeah, I'm actually not going to vote in the poll because that category is too big. I'm 25, half way to 26. Give me 6 months and I won't be in that category anymore, so that doesn't do the poll much good.

Yeah.

Although I don't fall in that category, that's going to be a huge skew.

[JSStryker]

I'm curious to see how many people over 45 there are

Me, 54 here

[Warcrafter]

19 Ftw!

Dam wont be a teenager for much longer

[ElAmigo]

18, 19 in a little bit more than 2 months

[Bassnectar]

18 .

[Mad_Murdock]

Yeah.

Although I don't fall in that category, that's going to be a huge skew.

Oh even if it was 17-24, it would still be the majority. So instead of 64%, it would be 60%.

It's funny the 24-25 y/o old people don't want to be grouped with the 15 year old, as if somehow that means they are the exact same as a 15 year old. You know most Action films have traditionally been aimed at male audiences, ages 13 to the mid-30s in both American and world-wide markets. (http://www.filmsite.org/actionfilms.html)

Eww WTF..what 35 y/o wants to be lumped in with a 13 y/o...Zomg !

[Kallixenia]

35 here. My dad plays, too– He's 65. Up until my grandfather passed a few years ago, we'd LAN Starcraft at his apartment. He was 87.

My mother-in-law plays WoW. She's 57. My boss plays FPS on PS3, in his office of all places. He's 62.

Gaming has come a long way from the joystick days…

[Arcilux]

Kind of large groups there, 15-25 includes practically all high schoolers, college students, and recent college grads.

Urgh...
I am 24, and feel so weird to be in the same category as a 15 year old.
Would have preferred 15-19 and 20-24

[Alexendra]

I turned 25 in Sep.

[Kuja]

Why 15-25 o.o That's way too broad. 15-18 would have been better.

27 here.

[Saelem]

The 15-25 range is dominating.

[Baneus]

Meh. If you're male, chances are you still like toys (just shinier and more expensive) and think about sex a lot. Nothing really changes, except as you get older you'll pretend to more mature than you actually are

[Shakadam]

The 15-25 range is going to dominate, you should have split it up further tbh.

Ontopic, 23 here

[Sills]

Yeah, i would have done that myself.

OT: I'm 23-years-old here.

Same here (age and category split)

Um, it has nothing to do with that. A ten year age span is huge, especially if the demographic you're surveying is for video games. It makes the results nearly meaningless by being so broad. 90% of those people could be 15 or they could be 25 and you couldn't tell from the number. 17-24 would at least be (slightly) more meaningful data because it's more specific. A better split would have been 15-19, 20-25.

That's like doing a survey of men who watch action films, based on those numbers, and doing a 15-35year old category. Surprise, everyone is in it. But does that tell you any real data? No, not that you didn't already know. It has nothing to do with 15 year olds not wanting to be grouped with 35 year olds.
