How old are you?

auroraael14auroraael14 Posts: 988 Member
I was reading job openings at EA's website and saw this on one of the descriptions "The Sims 4 has an extremely unique player base attracting a large young female-skewing audience." It got me thinking about how many of us don't fit into their intended target audience. I'm 30 (been playing the sims since I was 12) and a lot of my friends still play the sims too.

Here's a link to that job posting.

I accidentally forgot 41-49. So If you're in this age range please comment. Sorry about that.

    You excluded the decade of the 40s by accident, I think: I see it goes from 31-40 and then 50-60 with no 41-50 between. Just to let you know.

    Oops! I went back to redo some of the numbers and must have forgotten. If you're in that age range just comment.

    Anything between 10-45 can be considered young, if you word play a bit? Even 60+ in age can be considered 60+ years young. So that particular bit of wording around "a large young female-skewing audience" is age and gender-skewing by itself.

    To some people age is just a number, and to me i don't consider it relevant what category is used to define a set of consumers. I also don't see why it is relevant to post my age either with that stated.

    I'm a 24 year old guy... and I've been playing The Sims for over 14 years! :heart: I was a few years late, but I still started with the very first game! :smile: I got 'The Sims Deluxe Edition' as an early Christmas present in 5th grade! And that was the beginning of a LONG obsession that still goes on today! lol

    I just turned 50 this past November. I have been playing since the first Sims and enjoyed seeing the game evolve since then.
    Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]

    You should never ask a lady's age. I think if I were a Sim I'd be considered an adult.
  • JACKIEJOYJACKIEJOY Posts: 802 Member
    I agree with those who say the younger players aren't on the forums. I will be 53 soon. My 25 year old kid isn't even registered here. Its all Reddit and Twitter for her.I have been playing since the tail end of 1. So has she because I let her.

    @Colton147147 I think I may have you beat by a number of decades, there. I will be offically becoming a Seasoned Citizen in just a few weeks. Yeah, the BIG 65. ;)

    I voted the wrong option not realizing that the 40's was missing. :D I'm 43 next month. :s

    I think the game is for people who are young at heart and some of us never quite grew up, but that is ok I dont' care I just don't tell anyone that I play Sims only my family.
