Although gamers do grow up, we have to note that the current population is still on the upward trend. Which means that a new group of gamers are emerging.
These new crop of gamers are waking up to new kind of gaming experience which is now usually browser based. With Flash Player and Java improving their capabilities, these browser based games are taking the online gaming market by the storm. They are practically free to enjoy, with purchases only as necessary as your patience will allow.
Facebook blasted through the online social networking scene by introducing these games in their website. Now Friendster is following suit on the trend.
I doubt gaming will ever really die out. I’m 46 years old, managing a business, and involved in several advocacies, but once in awhile still enjoy a good game in front of the pc. ^_^

PC gaming has been in decline worldwide for years now, this should somehow reflect locally, the gaming paradigm has shifted to the gaming console and gaming dedicated devices, although the small percentage of the local decline should say something, the average Filipino gamers usually youngsters still can’t afford this supposedly current hot gaming platforms. if I am a shop owner , it still is safe to invest on gaming today, PC gaming should still have a substantial audience two years down the road.
