delboy69 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'm nearly 41 and can't stop playing! Probably explains why I'm single and live alone.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long eaton celtic Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 don't think it makes a lot of difference delboy , what i did'nt state is that i have a mrs and 4 kids and still can't stop playing my eldest son who is 12 and a big notts county fan is also addicted but being 12 he has an excuse !

Romeolo888 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 when i came to shanghai to settle down, i said to myself, i would never play games. for example xbox and fm10, but i thought i leave fm10 on my laptop, just in case. now,cause my wife works away, i am on it most nights and day. i still think i will be playing when i am 50, but who cares!! I play only when my missus is not about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play only when my missus is not about. I am 60 and still playing. I wouldn't describe myself as sad just obsessed with football and as my wife works away for most of the week and she says that playing FM is better than me taking a mistress everyone's happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestBromwichBrazil Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I think it's just an extension of being a football fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 As long as you don't exclude the other things then you cant be so bad if you love FM so much. While I'll miss the days of long uni holidays (and being able to play while working, as long as its reading-based, including revision) I hope I can continue for years to come.

edgar555 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Theres no age limit. As others have said, if you can continue to function normally and don't forget your responsibilities then its all good. My missus is happy with me playing FM because its better than me being out all the time getting wasted and causing grief. FM rules my friend, not sad at all.

NVS_Gooner4life Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 These are new times, with so many people in all ages playing i don't think there is a limit at any age at which you can continue to play games. Those born in the 70's like me grew up with Commodore, Amiga and NES and will probably be playing still games the rest of our lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakobx Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The average age of gamers is around 35 so IMO its pretty normal. We grew up with computer games and there is really no good reason to stop playing them. Id rather be playing FM when im 60 than staring through the window all day like old people like to do.

BigFW Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'm 38 and still loving it. Most nights the routine is Dinner, kids asleep by 8ish, laptop and fm not long after that. In front of the TV so can sit with the missus and still be sort of sociable. She prefers it to me dissapearing to the study and my proper gaming PC. She's not a fan but knows not to get between me and PC Gaming..particularly FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
