minus-square@Redkey@programming.devlinkfedilink51•3 months agoI wouldn’t be surprised if book readers spend 92% of their time on older books. Or if music listeners spend 92% of their time on older pieces.

minus-square@samus12345@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish4•3 months agoAccording to the article, they mean 6 years old or older.

minus-square@samus12345@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish5•3 months agoOh, okay. Seems odd to call a 2 year old game an “older” game.
