My father used to play tank games, but gave it up due to cognitive decline.

But he would fare better if there were a game system where he could play. Is there one? Didn't look like it when I searched.

Then I realized this is a potential money-maker. Unsexy, but there will only be more gamers in the old folks home as time goes on.

Turns online gaming is a great hobby for retirees with mobility issues. Join a guild/clan with a raid or play schedule and it’s like being on a sports team, but without the physical demands.

Well, for my dad, it's cognitive issues too. He needs a system with no password, where he can just get in there and play, and possibly with some sort of algorithm that calibrates itself to his response time- slow it down enough so he can play, but not enough so that it's too easy and boring. If it could keep him just at the edge of his current capacity, perhaps he'd get better or at least not decline anymore.
