What age is the average KSP player?

[NFUN]

its a poll by the way.

i made this poll to figure out how old the average ksp player is.

The lack of capitals in the title would drive me insane, so I decided to take the initiative and post this poll instead.

I didn't manipulate the values much More Boosters intentionally, by the way. It's a bit more clear this way, easier to read at a glance.

The sig is deceiving; I taught myself to use slide- rules about 10 years ago. Still pretty old, tho'.

Best,

Preemptive moderation: If you are under 18 please do not mention so in a post, but voting is fine. Rule 4.4

I just turned 39.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

I predict that the most voted in category will be 20-29. (Not necessarily my age)

[Robotengineer]

I was tempted to say 90+, but decided not to.

I made poll results private for this very reason

Oh, we're doing this again?

In all of my 33 years, I was a fry cook, an airport marshal, a self-taught computer programmer, currently a truck driver, and some time in the future, I hope to become an astronaut. until then, KSP lets me pretend, while I learn, because "Go into orbit" is one of the things on my Bucket List.

fake it till you make it, I guess.

Interesting, so the majority of KSP players are teenagers, might just be a number of people who saw this thread though.

[Red Iron Crown]

I don't see a majority in the 10-19 category, only a subset of which are teenagers.

I don't think 53 voters is enough of a percentage to base anything useful off of.

[Yukon0009]

Eh, just wondering.

My age is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

I love being able to say that

[Gaarst]

I don't think a 10-19 category (or any ten years category) is relevant for younger ages: you're not the same at 10 than at 19, same for 20 and 29. Neither do I think that 3 categories from 70+ are needed. Just saying...

[mythbusters844]

I'm proud to be able to say that I'm great at KSP even though I'm the same age as someone with the same birthday as me

[Thegamer211]

I did not expect so many old people.

Sure, where are the "I'm 17, and a half" categories ?

A few millimeters months matter.

Next year I get to be 0x30! Again.

[Slam_Jones]

26 here. Not surprised at the high number of 10-19s though.

Old people?!? lol

I was talking to a GameStop employee not too long ago; Mentioning KSP (and Day Of Defeat), he was shocked I played video games at all. He wanted to know more about KSP (my opinions), and I wanted to know more about GTA5 (his opinions). I was told "You're awesome man!" (because I played video games) lol

I'm 59.

[legoclone09]

I meant 10-19, but my finger slipped on my phone. But it wasn't too surprising with all of the 10-19s.

[Noname117]

I'm a bit surprised that there are more KSP-ers in their 30s than there are in their 20s. The high amount of us from 10-19 wasn't surprising though.

I agree that rather arbritary age divisions (based on the first decimal) might not give the most relevant insights. I'd be more interested to see, say, 6-12, 12-18 (although there are apparently some forum regularions against this so I hope the act of suggesting this doesn't result in me getting a warning--but you never know), 18-24, 24-40, 40-65, 65 and over or something along those lines. Or even qualitative groups; "high school, college, career starters, retired, the rest"
