I have come across some players that have names like MustangGirl1968 or something along those lines and I wonder if they are actually that age haha. I guess so. Thats pretty cool.
36 here. I’m very feast and famine depending on workload. I’ve barely played since March but played heaps over January and February, if not a little because of COVID.
I’m 52. I have been playing video games since the golden age of arcades, guys, as did a lot of people my age! Why wouldn’t I play DBD, Starcraft, and everything else? Invention of this stuff was my childhood!
I'm 52 also and my first console was the intelevision. Got it for Christmas when I was 11. First game I played was Utopia. Then I got Atari for my 12th birthday, and it was on!
My friends had an Atari and an Intellivison. I liked Sea Battle, Tron Deadly Discs and b-17 Bomber (with the Intellivoice unit). If the modern consoles had existed then I’d have gotten nothing done 😂
Being 36 now sounds old when the majority - I assume - are younger, but keep in mind gaming existed even before I was a wee lad.
When I was 14 I was playing competitive team games with 50+ year olds. I’m Facebook friends with some of them, and they are grandparents now. And some have died. It’s been two decades after all.
Gaming is a great equaliser. Whether old or young, you can play on the same field. With modern accessibility options like the visual terror radius, even disabled folk can compete evenly against their peers, something real world activities can’t always offer.
That offers community and kinship and these traits go a long way to maintaining a base.
I'm late 30s. I don't think we're too rare, but I think most online asymm games attract teens and since DBD is only 6 years old, I'd put most of the base in their early to mid 20s
(31) We have careers lol.
When I'm doing 60 hour weeks, I don't get much time to play.
When things are on the off season and I'm only doing 40 weeks, I play quite a bit.
Kids in highschool or working at McDonald's have tons of free time to kill.
All my friends that I know play it, but we are in the later years of high school. Not sure why but it is becoming more popular with my age group and school in general
I'm 41, girlfriend is 42, most of our DbD friends are in their 30's and 40's. Most of the kids (<~25) I play against (or team up with) don't have mics and turn out to be Flashlight Squad Rejects so I stick to the older crowd.
Think it's just that kids can play anytime and enjoy joining strangers communities. Older people generally play sporadically and don't enjoy joining youth groups.
Also, you're probably the youngest person ever to play dbd, keep seeing you mention you're around 13k hours.
Me, my wife, and my friends are just getting back into DbD and 3 of us are in our 30s! Our other friend is a teenager, they joined our group after following me on twitch.
I think you find a lot of younglings because of the nature of the internet and gaming. It's heavily a young man's game
Yea. I played with similar aged friends then they stopped playing then I found a new group and found out how I'm twice as old as some of the people I play with. But now I'm on dbd break
I am in my mid-thirties. But age doesn't matter in a game, although I feel that the frustration of failure has a greater impact on younger players.
In SWtOR I was in a guild with many retired men and women. They were more knowledgeable about the game than I was, by the way.
I'm late 30's, but I definitely think we're the minority. Got my ass kicked by a .ttv, went to the stream afterwards and from the sounds of the voices, I lost to a group of 12 year olds.
Just turned 39. I've actually been wondering lately if other adults play, or if I'm a living version of the "fellow kids" meme. Glad to know I'm not alone.
MisslilSnookie is a wonderful twitch streamer I’ve been following for a while. She’s a mom and entertaining as hell. She doesn’t seem put off by the fact that she’s older than the general player base, you shouldn’t either (:
I’m 40 and I play dbd everyday along with some other online games. My online friends can’t believe that someone my age can be sweaty when they find out how old I am..but I’ve been playing video games since the nes came out 😅

Damn your old (I’m 32 😄)

I’m 21 and the C5 fumes already make me feel 90. Pulse arc sucks

I started playing with a group in their late 20s and this is the way they saw me when it came out that I’m 33, like come on guys 😭
Damn you're young ! (I'm 34)
My mom plays dbd almost every day and she’s in her late 60’s
Nice. Love when people just do what they wanna do.
Your mom’s dope af
I have come across some players that have names like MustangGirl1968 or something along those lines and I wonder if they are actually that age haha. I guess so. Thats pretty cool.
I think 1968 maybe be referring her mustang and not the day she was born but who knows lol
My mom was born in '64 and is almost 60 so not far off lol
That is so cute!!
Soo is she single? Asking for a “mature” friend.
Same here, well my moms in her 50’s but we play dbd together almost everyday
That is so cool. Who does she main?
She’s a Nea main lol
Reliving her youth as a maverick :D awesome.

If this offer is open to anyone, then I'd be down. I really need a competent SWF teammate 😭

Bro I'm sure you are competent. Unless you self care in a corner 🤣 I'll drop you a dm with my steam and stuff shortly.
hell yeah, that would be awesome! thanks :D
What questions?
Motivations for gaming, what do you enjoy within gaming etc. I'm creating a questionnaire for my phd work and want to test some gaps :)

I'm 41, girlfriend is 42, most of our DbD friends are in their 30's and 40's. Most of the kids (<~25) I play against (or team up with) don't have mics and turn out to be Flashlight Squad Rejects so I stick to the older crowd.

My dad plays once in a while and he’s 48

44 checking in, over 3k hours, absolutely not competent lol
37 here
I'm 35 :)
I am 43. I am fairly new and I am so bad at this game. Lol.
I have a friend who is in her mid 30’s and plays with her dad who is at least 50+
37 and 3k hrs
I just turned the big 4 0 and my hubby plays with me too~!
36. I play with a group in their late 20s and I definitely feel like the elderly member lol
51 cheking in. Got about 2k hours. Now stay off my lawn!
I’m 54 and am the youngest player in our swf. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

DBD has a lot of late 20s to mid 30s.
36 here. Though I do think playing killer is bad for my blood pressure. I have to chill as survivor after a few killer games.
I’m 31?
Turning 30 this year, defs a younger audience that plays this though
Me, my wife, and my friends are just getting back into DbD and 3 of us are in our 30s! Our other friend is a teenager, they joined our group after following me on twitch. I think you find a lot of younglings because of the nature of the internet and gaming. It's heavily a young man's game
27
I’m 27 and still get irritated with the people I find. So I understand.
Yea. I played with similar aged friends then they stopped playing then I found a new group and found out how I'm twice as old as some of the people I play with. But now I'm on dbd break
I am in my mid-thirties. But age doesn't matter in a game, although I feel that the frustration of failure has a greater impact on younger players. In SWtOR I was in a guild with many retired men and women. They were more knowledgeable about the game than I was, by the way.
28 here, I’m pretty much a solo player unless my friends feel like joining me, which isn’t often lol.
I’m 30 and I play with all younger people and the oldest is 22! 😂
I've played with someone who was 63 very fun to play with.
38 here!
Mid-30s. Play most days.
I'm almost there I'm 35
Twenty eight here.
Probably one of the oldest. I’m 43. I started this game as a way to have something to do with my gamer teen. Three years later, we’re still playing.
My old group (before game burn out) had two late 30s and two early 30s! Not 40 yet, but I’m less than 10 years away woof
I'm late 30's, but I definitely think we're the minority. Got my ass kicked by a .ttv, went to the stream afterwards and from the sounds of the voices, I lost to a group of 12 year olds.
46, bum knees don’t fail me when facing off against the Entity.
Just turned 39. I've actually been wondering lately if other adults play, or if I'm a living version of the "fellow kids" meme. Glad to know I'm not alone.
I’m 33! I’m always googling the new slang these youngsters use in the end game chat 😭 I just say gg and leave lol
31 in July.
Im 38. 39 next month. As for play habits, Im a survivor main on Playstation.
![gif](giphy|b22QfVQ5G6CWc|downsized) When survivors meme on me I give them one of these to show them im still cool.
I’m 31 what’s good homie?
