Adults spend $500 billion on games and leisure activity each year, and some adults lament that kids get $15 billion for toys.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have a new generation of very rich people who want to do more with their money than buy a lot of expensive toys. They want to live meaningful lives.
It feels like there's something for everyone in video games. It's not just a toy for a certain age group. It's steeped in the culture now.
Everybody is playing games. There are games now for pretty much every age, every demographic.
Games can be art, and they can be significant and all the glorified things that we want them to be. But if you ask a kid if their toys are important, they'll say 'yes,' and 'Please don't take them away.'
The reason our games generate so much revenue is because we're stupid enough to charge $60 for a box or $50 for a download or something. You need used games because most people can't afford those prices.
As men get older, the toys get more expensive.
One of my concerns for my children is growing up with your parents having a lot of money.
Right now, more people enjoy movies, music, television and movies than they do video games.
People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.
$200, 300 million games, I'm a little scared about that; there aren't a lot of companies that have the resources or the courage to spend that much.
