调查称20%的美国老年人是潜在社交游戏用户

你爸爸每天都会在《FarmVille》中给你发送神秘礼物吗?据All Assisted Living Homes最近的一项调查显示,20%在婴儿潮时代(即70年代后期及80年代)生育的为人父母者都是Facebook用户。据Deseret News报道,玩社交游戏是这些父母在Facebook上的日常必修课之一。

游戏邦获悉,这20%的长者每天至少有一小时在Facebook中逗留。人们只需几分钟就能打理一款Facebook游戏中的琐事,所以很可能有相当一部分长者们都在玩《CityVille》等游戏。因为社交游戏已成了这类群体的共同爱好,美国犹他州的桑迪城的一个老年人中心甚至还专门开设了一门Facebook游戏培训课程,而且这还是该中心场面最为火爆的培训班。

由此可以看出,《FrontierVille》等大量的社交游戏已经成了初级游戏玩家的共同语言。游戏邦认为,尽管还有不少人指责社交游戏令人上瘾、诱使玩家挥霍金钱的倾向,但让更多人体验社交游戏乐趣却也并不是什么坏事。虽然硬核游戏玩家与休闲社交游戏玩家存在语言不通的现象,但我们相信他们的语言其实是同根同源的。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

One in five seniors is a potential Facebook gamer, study shows

TweetIs old pappy sending you new Mystery Gifts every day in FarmVille? According to a study conducted by All Assisted Living Homes, 20 percent of baby boomers–if you born anywhere from the late 70s through the 80s, likely your parents–are on Facebook. While they could be doing anything on Facebook, Deseret News mentions that gaming could be part of those activities. And we’re willing to bet on that big time.

This 20 percent of seniors logs into Facebook for at least one hour daily. Since it only takes a few minutes to get the dirty work done in a Facebook game, there is likely a large portion of these old folks playing CityVille or what have you. This trend is growing so much so that at one senior center in Sandy City, Utah holds a course to teach seniors the art of Facebook. It’s one of the most popular classes they offer.

It seems that FrontierVille and the lot truly are becoming the universal gaming language for first time gamers. While many are crying foul over social gaming’s addictive or exploitative tendencies, there’s nothing wrong with more folks getting into games. Sure, the gameplay languages between hardcore and casual slash social games are different dialects, but they both stem from the same root.(source:games.com)
