    I’ve played Rocket League for more than 2000 hours since its release, but honestly I kinda felt like it was dying. Very little interesting new content, silly decisions like removing trading. I haven’t played seriously for more than a year now. It’s surprising to me to still see it so high up

    I read that as “6-year-old or older gamers”. I was surprised to say the least.

      Based upon how obsessed my 4yo was with Kirby and Mario and Smash last year, I wouldn’t be surprised.

    I just beat today Breath of the Wild, a 7 year old game. BTW played on Yuzu since 2 months or so and have 120 hours.

    I keep seeing this article title and wouldn’t it have been easier to say “last year most games played were over 6 years old”?
