I am a 54-year-old father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I'm a single dad to my 14-year-old son. Recently, my son started playing Hearts of Iron IV. In less than a week, he has played more than 20 hours. It was terrible for me because it was already hard enough for me to spend time with my son since he was always with his friends or watching YouTube videos. So, I decided to create a Steam account to play with my son. I started playing, but it was my first time playing a video game since the 90s, so I was pretty lost. I asked for my son's help, and we spent a few hours playing the game together. I enjoyed it because it was the best time I'd spent with my son since my wife died. Playing video games reminded me that there is pleasure in everything, and it brought me and my son closer again, and now we actually spend time together outside the house.
