As the title says, how long do you think you'll still be a gamer? 10 years from now? 20, 30, 40 years from now?

Can you imagine yourself as an old grandparent still being a hardcore gamer, or do you think you'll eventually move on from gaming, and get into something else, or slowly wind down into becoming a casual gamer as you get older?

Foreva.

I'll be one of those awesome grandpas that help their grandkids beat games and junk. Basically, till my hands are rendered useless.

But, like Prinny suggests, we may have motion-helmets or something crazy by then to control games with our mind. :P

I think I too will still be a gamer when I get old, hopefully gaming will all be done by the mind (in case i do get arthritis).

For a very long time to come, although perhaps not as feverishly as in the past. The reason being? The want to complete every puzzle thrown at you is not something which goes away over night, it can only be forced out from your by yourself (something I don't plan on doing soon). Gaming is one of the few past-times which allows me to fulfil this craving as well as my desire to watch pretty pictures get blown up into tiny pixelated fragments of flesh and blood.

I will continue to be a gamer as long as my body is physically able to keep up with the games of that generation.

Seriously, I can see myself playing games with my future children, so I am pretty sure that I will not drop my hobby anytime soon.

I can see myself still being a gamer when I'm older. Would love to be the cool mom who plays games with her kids and their friends think I'm the cool one. Lol.

But yeah, as long as games stay interesting I'm sure I'll still be playing them.
