There are literally 9000 hidden object games on Steam
Rather retire and play starcraft
Why would older people prefer hidden object games?
My guess is that they're not twitchy and they keep your mind active.
There are so many non-twitchy games, though, and hidden object games are not what they grew up with.
And maybe they like twitchy games. Platformers were among the first games older people played in their youth.
Because they're always forgetting where they left shit, its good practice for them.
Yeah, you have a prejudiced view of older people.
Oh no, are they so old they forgot how to take a joke too?
Fuck off lol I’m over 50 currently playing Saros
