[quote name='TheFreshPrince']Hey Cheapy,
In regards to your discussion about when you will be too 'old' to legitimately run Cheap Ass Gamer, I was disappointed by your response. Take a look at Jeff Green, for example: he has been in the video game business far longer than you have, and still remains a fan favorite at 1Up, and I'm sure will continue to be a fan favorite as he moves on to EA.
The current average age of video gamers is 29, a number that I am sure will continue to rise. The average television watcher is 50, and I believe that video games will follow along a similar path.
Cheapy, all in all, I think that you should continue to run CAG until it no longer becomes fun, regardless of your age. It would be very sad to see the website turned over to someone far less enthusiastic.[/quote]
I completely agree. The generation of the NES boom is growing up, and we're still into video games. It should definitely be until it stops being fun, not because you're worried about how you look.
Sure, the 14-year-olds will always be around, but look at the computer/tech business: there are always new young'uns getting into that kind of stuff, yet you still have respected geezers who are more successful with their podcasts etc than anyone else in that field. The young crowd doesn't laugh at the fuddy-duddies, they respect them.
I know you realize how sweet you've got it; there aren't many jobs that involve sitting around all day. Of course, if you were offerd a large cash payout that would let you retire for the rest of your live, I couldn't blame you for taking THAT.
