I feel like this is the game that us computer savy high school/college age people play. Of course I could just be naive. Great game, obvious poll, but was needed.

So you say 1.4 is fail because you don't know how to update your server? WTF
Thats like saying all cars fail because you don't know how to put gas in them.
14 year olds with jobs are very rare now. I only know one guy that did a paper round. Nowadays, youths just get their parents to buy whatever they want.
Most youth. My parents only get me stuff on X-Mas and my birthday. For my computer, iPod, cell phone (paid for plan), I all paid/pay for them with money I earn from babysitting.
I don't like all the kids who get crap for free, they grow up and realize they don't have people to buy them stuff and are screwed.

25, act mature when I'm in a server, and sometimes on the forum when the mood takes me. Otherwise, I can be plenty immature... and I just lost the game.

I'm 15. I don't think that this poll is really a good way to tell who plays Minecraft, more like who goes on the Minecraft forums. Oh well, that's interesting enough anyway lol.
Most of my friends and I had jobs at 14. It was either a paper route or McDonalds, but we had to work and buy our own things. Do kids not do that anymore?
Due to liability, and depending upon which state you reside in, these days teenagers are not allowed to work by law. At McD's, you have to be 18 or over to operate the fryers. Most paper routes today require that you provide your own car, since the decline of newspapers have made routes so large that they could not be covered by your typical kid on a bike. Most retail stores have cardboard balers-insurance companies and the law require that one must be 18 years of age to operate those as well.
I started working at 11, had an work permit in NY state for agricultural work. I picked beans, and my first paycheck was $27.00 for a weeks work. I was so proud! We got paid by the pound, and money went a lot further back in the dark ages.
For the record, I'm 43, and have been gaming since Pong. I had a Colecovision with the Atari 2600 and 5600 port, and I was in heaven. Not to mention the availability of arcade games like Donkey Kong, Defender, Galaga, Space Invaders, Centipede...absolute HEAVEN.
I suppose I'm really in the minority, and not just because of age. I'm a female long-time gamer. :smile.gif:
Kids working is pretty much nonexistent nowadays. If I did some REALLY extensive research, maybe I could find a job somewhere in the US that allowed a young person to take the job, but I'm entirely sure that I won't find it around where I live, aside from the typical mowing the lawn or babysitting for others. I'd do that, but my social skills are nil and I'm more or less the non-social person in real life.
Oh, yeah, I'm thirteen.

Bring on the trolls going "I don't need to listen to your argument, you're 12!" whenever I respond to actual fans of the game in a topic about criticising Notch/Minecraft.
I doubt this poll would help with anything, since the average maturity of every game community is 1-15.
They know they're Mature because the "M" on the copy of Black Ops their mommy bought them tells them so :wink.gif:
I can offer some free map and save-file hosting, just PM me! 1GB/Unlimited Bandwidth/FTP Access. More on request!
It's great to know this stuff.
Even though a lot of people probably just lied. =P
Like many others, I had a feeling what the adverage age would be and I was right.
I'm 13 by the way.
Most youth. My parents only get me stuff on X-Mas and my birthday. For my computer, iPod, cell phone (paid for plan), I all paid/pay for them with money I earn from babysitting.

I would guess that the actual age stats are somewhat different.
