Age of gamers...

I had the most interesting conversation today at work with a colleague who admitted he is also a gamer. There are many people in our large professional industrial company whom will never admit they are gamers and in fact may even be embarrassed to admit it.

This probably has a lot to do with the culture in South Africa since we are only now starting our second generation of Internet users where other countries already have a mature 3rd generation going.

Makes me wonder how many other countries still live in a "secret gamer" culture?? Blog your thoughts please..

But what really is amazing about this work colleague is that not only does he play Starcraft and Diablo 3 (his favorite) and wow, but also so does his wife!! Oh and guess what they play this online with their son, whom is in another country 1st world... Why so impressive you ask? He is already 62 years old and his wife 58, now that's just freakin awesome!!! At least I know what the future holds for me one day past 60 in over 30 years from now ha ha

This is really also exciting for the future prospects of South Africa in terms of technical growth and market size for games and innovation, yes we all know that the gaming industry is at the fore front of the worlds innovation!! Whoot and that's why I want to be part of it...

Any thoughts? Please go ahead and comment.

Until next time Indies!
Go BIG!
