Ask HN: Not computer gaming makes me an outlier?

I never really liked to play computer games.

When I was introduced to computers at the age of 14 at high school under MS-DOS, we kids were made to play "Hangman" which I never liked. Then at the age of 15 we graduated to "Pac-man" which I liked somewhat, but not enough to want to continue engaging with it like the rest of the kids.

As an adult after college when I migrated to UNIX, I was introduced to "XSoldier" and kind-a liked it, but again, not enough to get hooked beyond a week of regular play.

I have never played any of the console-based games and have never even touched a gamepad.

Does all of the above make me an outlier? Or, is it normal?
