There are pros and cons for either demographic: whilst being older may be ideal since not only you bypass age restrictions, you also have the capability on purchasing it with your own money without having to ask parents for that given that you have employment and recurring income. Gaming as a kid gives more time without having to dwell much on responsibilities that adults have to worry about but at the same time are held by school.
For me personally the steam deck was a game changer, now I have a little pc I can carry around with me. I no longer needed to worry about those long ass quests or lack of save points because I can just put it to sleep and pick it up later when I have a moment.
It’s still not as great as being able to sit down and just get lost in a game but it’s better than not having time at all.
That’s a good tip, thank you!
