I guess they never heard of Gameboomers..

They should come and vist...To prove them wrong..

Yahoo


Excellent letter..I couldn't said it any better

I'm so glad someone posted on this thread to bump it back up because I missed it the first time around. And let me tell you I was astounded. It really makes you understand what's wrong with the gaming industry, and I'm sure articles like that just help the C.E.O.'s feel justified in their ongoing marketing strategy.

P.S. I couldn't figure out how I could have missed the original post of this then I saw the thread started on Feb. 20. On Feb. 17 I had my 3rd child at age 38. I wonder what Yahoo! would think of that? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />

The real problem with articles like this one, is that game producers read these ridiculous editorials.

There are enough shoot-em-ups don't require brains out there for the young or young at heart with athletic fingers crowd. If too many idiotic articles like this one are published, we may see more games leaning towards adolescents & fewer thinking games that adults enjoy around!

I hope you all told them to go to GameBoomers & see how serious & mature gamers act & what we're playing & how a game site should be handled - in a professional & well thought out manner. Yahoo needs new editors, among other things.

Super letter, Inferno!

My thanks also for bumping this thread back to the top - I also missed it first time round (due to the fact that I wasn't a GB member then). I'm astounded over people's stupidity! Perhaps articles like that are written by 18 year olds who think that anyone over 25 should be put down!?

One of my dearest friends bought herself a pc at age 69 and at age 70 started writing computer games, very successfully I might add!

ps - just checked Peter's original link and the article doesn't seem to be there any more...?

Did the article get taken down? I get an error when I try to link to the page!


Louis

I got the same message Louis!! Must be old news now

Or maybe they got so tired of hearing from us they took it down!

I also got an error message. I figure playing games is better then sitting in the rocker crochting things no one wants. At least my grandchildren like coming to my house and seeing what new games I have.It can be fun at times to see who can get through it first and helping each other out.

Welcome to Game Boomers, Bonnie and Gorillaswife! (Now there has to be a story behind that user name! )

to GB Bonnie and Gorillaswife, hope you enjoy it here

gorillaswife you have the true GB spirit Have you got any of the Nancy Drew games??

How old would any of us be if we didn't know how old we are?

Welcome Bonnie & Gorillaswife!

Does hubby know your screen name, Mrs. Gorilla?

I think they removed the page after deciding that they made a lot of potential customers, enemies instead, because of a lack of research.
