More than 1,000 classic RPGs, strategy games, and horror greats are wildly cheap in GOG's "Classics" PC sale, and are we OK with Skyrim officially being labeled an "old game?" (www.gamesradar.com)

Sure, you could look at it that way, but an equally valid way to look at it would be based on human life spans.

Average human life expectancy is 72 years. Which is, conveniently very close to the age of the oldest video game (an implementation of tic-tac-toe from 1950).

Would you call a 14 year old human old? At that point they'd be ~20% of they way through their life.

We're not talking about humans or their lifespans so no, that is not equally valid

Else this 30 year old apple I have is just fine and not old at all, it's not old til it's closer to 72!
