Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a 90-year-old woman, Hamako Mori (aka Gaming Grandma), became the oldest gaming YouTuber in the Guinness World Records.

Born on Monday, February 18, 1930, the smart old woman has over 150,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel. She started video-gaming 39 years ago when she saw her children passionately involved in it.

"It looked so much fun, and I thought it's not fair if only children played it. I thought life would be more fun if I knew how to play it. So I started playing, at first while no one was watching,” she said.

Aside from being a gamer, Mori also keeps all the consoles and game software she has bought over the years, saying she treasures them as they are memories.

"I didn't touch it until recently because it's difficult to play. But recent action games are visually spectacular, and they often use actors for characters. So I'm really obsessed with it now,” she said.

She especially loves Grand Theft Auto V, saying the virtual reality is like watching a film. She added that she loves it for its age restriction.

Mori said she started sharing her gaming moments on YouTube because it really is no much fun if she is the only one getting all the enjoyment.

The 90-year-old said she is always moved by the amazing comments she gets from her fans on her channel.
