Is it true that the older you get, the worse you’ll get at video games due to hand eye co-ordination?

I’m in my 40’s and I was just wondering when is the cut off when improvements stop happening and hand eye co-ordination decreases? I assume it does as you get older or is that not so? (I am a Gamer and I enjoy gaming as a means of stress relief and just wondering if there’s been studies saying such.)

Eh. Switching up genres work. I find as I age, I am just less interested in twitchy games. Much prefer strategy and base building. I have a feeling as I get older, I’ll find a new genre, maybe just farming sims or something.

But to be honest, gaming ain’t what it used to be and that’s VERY GOOD. We’re not stuck with games like Lion King anymore where it’s only meant to be played one way. Customization is now king of the castle. Feeling a little slow? Turn auto aim on. Or decrease difficulty.

Still too hard? Use a trainer or turn on a creative mode. So what if I lose a little hand eye coordination? There’s so many adaptations and accessibility now that it’s a moot point.
