Meet the Gamer Grandpas: The Seniors Who Spend Retirement Playing ‘Fortnite’
This article caught my eye because it might be of interest to some of you gamers! You never know who you might be playing against.
I like this quote especially from the article:
"Patrick Godfrey, a 61-year-old in California, agrees. “Since I often play with a fine whiskey by my side, I simply cannot compete with some 12-year-old with the reflexes of an insect,” he says. “Also, as an Army veteran, my style of play is methodical and tactical, [so it] doesn’t lend itself to the fast-paced chaos of most [player vs. player] games.” He adds, “Nearly everyone I play with is much younger than me. They’re usually shocked when they find out my age, especially given my obvious skill in the game. I laugh when I tell them I have grandchildren the same age as them.” "
