I find it strange when adults play this game. Like there have been times where I join a party of people thinking they are about my age and then all of them are like 30+. It's sickening! To think that some guy that has a job and a family is wasting their time on a game meant for teens and some kids (depends on parents). Like shouldn't you adults be buying this for your kids and not your selves? Sure you want to have the feeling of being a kid again but really I find it extremely sad that full grow adults make up the majority of this community. This unbalances the community of teens to adults giving adults more power which they have always had. Adults have their power in real life and shouldn't have the power here. Yes I know that bungie is made by adults but targeted for teens. I remember watching my uncle play halo when he was 16. Everyone i watched him play with were all about his age 13-19. I never saw or heard one adult on there. Even on other games like cod and battle field not one adult. Teens had the power! Now on destiny all these adults popping up. When I went to go get destiny opening night, there were more adults than teens there. I understand that there are 20 year olds out there that are here from the halo community. I think that this is some what better than 30+ year olds because the majority of people in their twenties have not gotten married yet. This is fine to me. But when you are a person that is married and has a kid or multiple kids, it is your responsibly to take care of your family. Not spending countless hours on a video game to where you are not focused on your family. Now some of you adults may say, "we are not obsessed with destiny and spend a healthy time on it and with our families." Ok well how much time do you spend with your kids after work? Or do you go right on to destiny? Are you dads of destiny actually being dads? Are you helping your son with that chemistry home work or helping your teammates with Crota hard mode? Every day when my dad comes home from work he gives everybody a huge hug and asks us how are days went. Then he makes us dinner and some times we will go and do something as a family. He will always help me when I need it or be there for me at all my sports events. If he can't do any of these things it's usually from a logical reason like he is still at work or he is helping some one else. The point is that he is spending time with the family and not on a gaming console alone. I have seen though some adults here that play destiny and their son or daughter plays it too. These people though I have noticed are not as obsessed as adults that don't have kids that play destiny. So sure leave your hate you stuck up adults say im immature. Correct my spelling and grammar, say im just a teen that is trying to make a point. But think about this. Are you spending memory making times with your children? Have a happy Father's Day *drops mic*

  • This is the dumbest post I have ever had to read. Does your dad never watch tv? Or do anything for himself? Haha most parents that game don't do a lot of tv watching or other things alone. I for one and married with a little girl. I only play games at night after my wife and my daughter have gone to bed. I also play every once in a while during the day when my daughter is napping and my wife is at work as long as the things I need to do for the day is done. Then I go to work at night and get off late. Your lack of any real knowledge about this subject makes it really hard to even find the effort to argue with you. But for all the dads out there, happy Father's Day.

  • Video games are made to be enjoyed by anybody at any age. If you think otherwise you are either, ignorant, or need to grow up.

  • Why don't you realize that people play to have fun (I'm a teen and at work there's a lot of adults and gaming is a topic we all enjoy talking about) the adults i work with aay after they've put in their 40-50 hour week they enjoy going home to their families but they also like the peace and relaxation of playing games. These people have so little free time so why can't you let them enjoy it? Why do you have to act so entitled and tell people what to do with their lives? Dude you're inexperienced and don't know their own situation, just let them enjoy what little time to themselves they get

    So you're saying, a game made for teens and older, should not be played by adults older than teens. Few people in my clan are adults with families and responsibilities. When their kids start to cry or complain, they don't think twice before putting the controller down and attending to the matter. Every adult's first priority is their family and other responsibilities, gaming is just a hobby. Your comment shows how mature you really are. Grow up [spoiler]P.s I'm a teen too[/spoiler]

    You do realize that most of those games are actually for adults, right? That's why there's that thing in the corner that says "Mature 17+" Not to mention that these are the same people, just older. They are part of the first generation to play video games as kids. Of course they'll keep playing them. Do you plan to stop playing as soon as you're an adult?

  • The game is made for [u]fun[/u]. Just because I have a job doesn't mean I can't play Destiny for fun without spending time with family.

  • You are running off the assumption that adults have no time to waste playing a game. You are running off the assumption that every adult that plays games is a lowlife scumbag. That simply is not the case. Stop making these assumptions, and stop looking like a complete asshole. What about playing Destiny for an hour makes you think they neglect their loved ones, family, friends, and career? Or are you just upset that you're the minority once more?

  • Yikes. Looks like when you become an adult you better not play video games! Get your ass to work! This takes the cake as one of the dumbest things I have read. Your maturity level is really lacking.

  • Looking at your profile i can see you invest a lot of time in destiny, speaking as a father you come off very naive and uneducated . My family takes first priority and always will, you are basically telling me i cant enjoy a game that was created by adults for EVERYONE not just toddlers and tiaras like yourself. Working 60 hrs a week i put food on the table, help my children with everything needed, and go above and beyond for all. I enjoy gaming in my down time as it is good stress relief for dealing with people like yourself. Do us all a favor go outside, take a look around. There is much more to offer in this world.

I found that comment insulting frankly.

  • There's a thing called ageism and it works both ways for young and old people. You should try to educate yourself morally and ethically.

  • I didn't even want to read the rest of this comment. the first part was enough. do you honestly think that someone who works 40+ hours a week don't deserve a break. most people are stressed, tired, and don't enjoy their life! so let them do something that makes them happy! that lets them play with their friends! that keeps them less stressed so they aren't always grumpy! one day you'll feel the same...

  • There is no hope for you, sir. Most people play after their children are in bed, and you're the one being stuck up. Also, many of the adult friends I have play WITH their children on destiny.

    As a teen, not a father, I feel like this post works against the whole point of teens being mature. My father watches a lot of sports, I don't bug him for attention. If my dad played video games, I wouldn't interfere-- that's [i]his[/i] time, not mine. We will just hang out another time. And I mean, really. Fathers need a break too, to vent some steam. Maybe gaming is how they do it. But to attack them for doing something they love? I am deeply ashamed to be in the same age bracket as you. Edit: indents
