Since I'm more like in the middle I know why you feel this way. You want it to be exclusive to your generation, which is greedy and selfish. You can't claim something is for your generation only, when you're YOUNGER. Darlene has lived through the entire videogaming period. From it's birth until now. Most people here have not, or they were too young to even know what a videogame was when videogames first came out.
Who do you think comes up with videogames and makes them? Who makes childrens programming? Who makes childrens games? Children? PFFTTTT. Adults make the cartoons children watch on TV, adults make the videogames that children play. If there are adults making the games and tv shows that children enjoy, how can you even stand there with a straight face and say that adults don't know what's going on with the youth of today?
God I hope when I'm 40 and still playing videogames people will have changed their attitudes.
Again, people in their 30's and 40's lived through all of videogaming/pc gaming in it's entirety. How can you say they shouldn't be allowed to play them now? I grew up with Mario and Zelda and the age of NES and Gameboy and have been playing ever since. I find it ridiculous when I play an online game where some 14 year old tells me I'm too old to be playing the game. The very birth of most online games nowadays are from people 20 and over who enjoyed playing games in their childhood and still enjoy playing them today.
p.s. Ching, when you make a post saying "you're deluded if you think I care", you're pretty much contradicting yourself, because if you didn't care you wouldn't bother to tell me that you didn't care.
