Is it a turn-off if a guy is above 30 years old and still plays with videogames?

No. It's fun. I find it a turn-off when people take themselves too seriously and try to put age limits on things. Sans sexually matters, you're never to young or old to enjoy something.

I am in my 20s. I still watch the cartoons from the 90s-my childhood. My mother likes some of them too. Videogames are the same. If I had a boyfriend who played, I may try to play with him.

Long as it's not an obsession, and he is neglectful of life outside of games, then it's cool.

Agreed!

More than likely I will be the same way when I hit 30. Video games are awesome.

I'm ok with it as long as it doesn't consume his daily activities. An adult is one that doesn't let video games get in the way of his/her job and or family.

It doesn't bother me one bit. That was part of our lives coming up. I dig a good nerd

Now if he's doing it for 3+ hours a day, 7 days a week, there's an issue.

I'll still be playing video games when I turn 30. Not my problem if a woman doesn't like it. I also work and I am in college. So I don't play them all the time. I've got bills lol

its kind of cute
the 30s are the new 20s

Having said so, im 30 and havent play videogames in like 15 years, and havent dated a guy who played videogames either. So maybe ill think different if he wants to play videogames all day or so.

If he does it once in a while with his friends, i actually find it cute. But my current bf doesnt do it, and my ex didnt do it, so im not sure if it would really bother me if it actually happens.
