73 year old isn't Gen X! That's boomer age right? Boomers gaming is so funny to me, I've never seen a boomer be good at video games. Can't even imagine it frankly.

True. That is Boomer. Let me give them their credit. I guess I have a gaming gene. I’ve seen my father complete some video games. My point is that people don’t think the older gamer exists when Baby Boomers and Gen X started with Pong and many stayed with it. Gaming and gamification strategy have great appeal for these audiences.

HAHAHHA this is so accurate. My brothers are both gamers and they say the same thing to our neices and nephews.

I actually love this so much. Gaming isn't just for young people, even those of us who are older love to play!

I have no idea what any of this means, but the idea of gaming grannies makes me smile. Good for them!!

It’s about not making assumptions about audiences. Gamification can appeal to anyone. The AARP website even has an arcade page.

Oh no 73 is solid boomer not Gen X. I like the enthusiasm though.

Ha! Yeah my parents had pong before me and my siblings were born. Also if you grew up and went to the arcade, we all amass that one dude who was way to old to be hogging the one game you really wanted to play, right?

Ok Boomer

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
