Has anybody ever said you were too old to play Animal Crossing?

[Chipl95]

A couple of weeks ago I told my stepdad a little bit about Animal Crossing Switch and how I was thinking of buying a Switch so I will be able to play it. He laughed and said it was a little bit weird that I am still playing a game "for eight year olds". He then said that I played it when I was eight and I am a little too old for it now. He gifted me my first DS for my tenth birthday, so he should remember that.

Does anyone have similar stories to that?

I didn't have someone tell me, but whenever I was like 12 and going through my edgy phase I thought I was too cool for "baby games" like ACNL. Then I came back after three years and realized how much I had missed.

I haven't actually had anyone tell me that my taste in games is immature. Though that's probably because I don't talk to very many people to begin with.

Funnily enough, the only time I remember someone telling me I was playing a "baby game" was when I mentioned Pok?mon in Club Tortimer.

I don't recall anyone ever saying I was too old for this game, but I believe Animal Crossing can be played by anyone regardless of age. I mean, I have a dear friend who is a lot older than me who plays Animal Crossing! So yeah, anyone can play no matter what. c:

I haven't had anyone tell me that I was too old for AC, no. Most of my friends are gamers so we all enjoy various series like this.

yes which is infuriating because its like adults are not allowed to have interests other than sorkkng and paying taxes. some people who play this game use it as stress relief, coping skills, ways to comtrol their attention. when someone says an adult is not allowed to like things only they see ‘kids’ playing fail to relalize that there are no age limits on things that make people happy (to certain extents). also i see it as sorta mentally ableist since they dont take into consideration the people who are playing this game for several different type of mental disorders.

Yes, my mom says stuff like that all the time, so I'm not telling her I'm playing Animal Crossing.
But everytime I play the Sims or something, I get that "you're too old for that stuff"-comment. It's really annoying.

 

[Snowesque]

Not really, other people I knew played it too.
I wasn't exactly expressive of my interests, though.
Complaining is a hobby for some, so you shouldn't care in the slightest.

Not really. Even my dad says that Animal Crossing is a beautiful game, especially because of how detailed it is, lol. In general, I see and met actually more teenagers and young adults playing AC than actual kids when I think about it. Also, I don't care what other people say. I play what I want, after all it's my money and if I want to spend it for such video games then I will do it for sure, it's not their business...

 

[Bosmer]

No not really, some of my friends from university even play animal crossing. Even if I was told so who cares, I've been playing animal crossing since I was 12 and I'm 24 now.

I'm always afraid of this which is why I don't tell anyone I know .... I don't know why I care so much

Only from a 11 years old girl from the isle in acnl. ( i'm 26) LOL

Animal crossing sounds like a cute tumblr version of The Sims for my friends, they really like it.

 

[Nadene]

nope, never.
i feel bad for those who have though..
...the only game someones told me im 'too old for'
was maplestory and a large portion of the players
are 18+ on there.​

 

[Korichi]

Luckily no one’s ever told me this;;.. (Probably because no one knows that I’m still playing AC besides my brother and sister ..)but everyone here is right, AC is an amazing game that can be enjoyed by anyone! Regardless of age ^^

 

[Becca617]

not me, no. although i dont really talk to lots of people, the only people who know i play is my parents, 2 brothers, and boyfriend. kinda sad that people will tell that to others because animal crossing is a coping game to some and possibly one of the only sources of someone's happiness in a day. im almost 17 and i dont see myself giving up animal crossing at least any time soon, ive been at it for just about a decade

 

[AccfSally]

Sometimes, it's usually this game or playing games made by Nintendo period is for babies..

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

They haven't exactly come out and said it, but I'm pretty sure my parents disapprove of how much I like Animal Crossing. I asked for stickers of various villagers for Christmas and my mom just gave me a weird look. Also when my dad offered to get me a poster with whatever I wanted on it, he specified "Besides Animal Crossing". So yeah.

 

[ILikeFroakies]

No one has said that to me. My friends don't like the game and think it's a bit childish but don't tell me that I shouldn't play it

Legit me. I only tell people I'm super close to and even then I'm afraid of them laughing at me for enjoying AC. I told my boyfriend of 2 years like 6 months ago lmao, thankfully he didn't say anything of the sort and seems quite interested in it and he's considering getting it for the switch :]
