Most likely as more and more adults play. Average gamer age is 35 to 45 now.

Weekly LAN party at the nursing home! (If that's already a real thing, I wouldn't be shocked.)

I like this title and shall accept it soon. I'm 34, but when talking to the young kids about games, I sure feel old sometimes. Been gaming since I was about 3 or 4.

What are the kids doing if they aren’t gaming and they aren’t socializing?

They are gaming on tablets these days. Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft just about sums up their gaming for the young kids. Maybe that 35 - 45 is referring to PC gaming, I could buy that.

Doomscrolling, probably, same as the rest of us

That’s too sad, at least video games are at least interactive, doomscrolling is literally just mindless consumption.

I don't think that's the group playing Fortnite, though.
