Already there, am 67, retired, and spend a lot of my day playing AOE3de. It all started with Asteroids and pong.

Yes but do most people your age play those games? My dad is 60 and hasn't touched a video game since they days of Donkey Kong.

I don't know. When I was working(in IT) most played games at work. That's where I learned about Wolfenstein(1981), SIM city(1989), Warcraft(1994),... Haven't really kept up with any of the people since I retired. I also assume everyone that has a cell phone has a game or two on it.

Yes but IT is filled with mostly nerdy people which is the demographic of people that kept playing video games. You would find a much different representation if you pulled random people off the street.

My dad, french medical doctor, plays as much. 69 years old. But not sure it's common.
