Attack of the Gaming Grannies

Posted by Zonk on from the old-grandma-hardcore dept.

Craig Sender writes "BusinessWeek Online has a piece on the expansion of the gaming market into the octogenarian, market." From the article: "Though some may find it surprising, the senior gaming trend isn't hard to understand. For starters, many folks living on Social Security find they don't have a lot of money for entertainment or travel, and video gaming is a fun and affordable diversion, especially if you rent games or trade titles on the Internet."

    video gaming is a fun and affordable diversion, especially if you rent games or trade titles on the Internet.

    So...is BusinessWeekOnline advocating that seniors pirate video games?
