An Interview With 2old2play's Doodi

vinnie2k writes "This is an interesting interview with the founder of 2old2play.com. In it he discusses the future of gaming for older people, why we need communities like 2old2play, and how the gaming industry needs to refocus its efforts on the games it makes. Cool insight and worth the read for any older gamers."

I'm 41 and play Counter Strike Source on a daily basis. I am not too old to play.

"... If my kids spent half the time that they play games on learning a computer language, then they would be pulling down six figure salaries..."

If you love your kids, then for God's sake don't be saying shit like that around them!

When your dog bites someone and has to be destroyed, you tell your kid that it's gone to live on a farm where it can chase rabbits all day without getting in trouble.

Say your kid catches you downing your first stiff scotch of the day at 08:30. You tell them its "special medicine" for grownups.

Your wife boots you out, so you tell the kid that mommy and daddy are going to spend a little time apart so they don't yell at each other so much.

- These are all inconsequential, harmless, miniscule white lies compared to the black, satanic, evil untruth that software development is a desirable and highly-paid profession.
