You must be quite young or sheltered if you haven't had a few gamers you knew die already. Not everyone dies of old age.

I think the opposite, if you want to adjust your jumping to judgemental conclusions. I'm old and social. I grew up in a place where nobody gamed or had computers.

Nearly all of the close people in my life did not/do not game. My circle is outdoorsy or go out somewhere people I guess. We have kids and families and precious little free time. I've never had friends come over to game or however that goes. I guess I could seek out people who want to game with me, but if someone has free time at the same time as I do, we'd rather do something else.

Hope this broadens your perspective of people.
