Yes, but probably more 'settled' games such as the Total War series, rather than more frantic gameplay experiences of games such as Starcraft or FPSs.
I'm going to have to go with a maybe. I cannot see any reason for me not to keep on playing games, but it is so long into the future that it is imposible to predict who I will be and what the industry will look like 50 years form now.
The main test will be university, if I can keep enjoying gaming and doing so successfully than I will likely keep gaming my whole life
I think I'll be like: Ow, you kids and your [future pass time], why don't you go play a videogame or something. Like our parents said "why don't you read a book or something"
But yeah, though not sure whether I'll be playing future-gen or modern-time classics.

Pretty much my thoughs as well. I'll be gaming alot LESS i'd imagian, then again, you never know, i still find a good amount of time to game now, less then when i was young, but still more then your avg. 32 year old i bet. LOLKiefer13 said:
Maybe not when I'm like 60 and healthy but if I outlive my significant other and my bastard kids put me in a home then for sure. What the hell else am I going to do stuck in a room with nothing but a TV when I'm too damn old to get out of my chair and go actually do stuff. I can totally see myself as a grumpy 90 year old playing TDM in COD 72: Highly Implausible Military Ventures, rattling off my rambling stories that don't go anywhere to the 10 year olds on my team on mic.
its not that bad. i knew a few guys 50+ who played with us and they were quite cool....my wow raid leader was a drill sergeant in the army...lets just say if he yelled...somehome..over the internet he scared half of us and we did shit right lol. Hell he came on one night (from iraq) when we were raiding...yelled at us(had no idea what we were doing) and we 1 shot the boss we were screwing up on no deaths nothing wrong went down...dude was like 50+ alsoMechsoap said:
I don't see any reason to stop gaming: it's social, it's good for the mind, and you can do it on your deathbed.
Looks like a pretty good thing to take into old age to me.

Hell yeah! As long as my eye sight and hearing are still relatively intact. Why should I stop doing what I love?
I honestly don't know. I don't doubt that I will still read books and listen to music, so it's quite plausible that some games will be played.
Hopefully the medium will have developed to the point where most games are no longer embarrassing to play in front of somebody with an Arts degree by the time I hit my 50s.
Of course, I may never hit my 50s. That could be a problem.

It depends really on two things. Either the game had change a lot to the point of feeling out of touch or when I can physically no longer play games like e.g. your hands are too damages from the years of gaming.
