I got introduced to Starcraft in 1997 by the head of my school, he was over 50 years old back then. He sold me some weird (pirated?) demo of the game on CD for 5 bucks where you could only play the first 3-4 Terran missions. I also know some guy over 60 years old by now (probably hitting his retirement age soon) on US West that still plays even if he is a <60apm forever noob.

As long as you're having fun it doesn't matter how good/bad/old you are. You're never too old to have fun or learn a new thing. Actually today I met a guy who's 70 years old still learning new and more difficult piano pieces than he ever played.

sounds like the shareware version of the game - either way, you got scammed of your $5.

Probably. I'm very very sure it was still 1997 though, not 1998. Maybe my memory is off?

Starcraft was released on 31st of March of 1998.
Shareware version might have been released a week earlier or so, but surely not in 1997.
A few features had not been completed and tested yet as late as in December of 1997.

As someone who's still in their twenties, I can't speak directly from personal experience but I think the old guard of Brood War players tend to see the scene and themselves as "too old" because comparatively when looking at other esports, BW is absolutely ancient. On the other hand, in every country and every city you have grassroots sports scenes etc. where guys in their fifties and even sixties are busting ass and having fun with improving in their respective hobbies
Here's to another 25 years

I was last there in 2017 or 18 or something, I forget. They're nutjob weirdos with bizarre delusions, so ultimately, we did not get along. I'm sure you can find it if you look, but I don't have the link anymore. There were some actual humans there, but the percentage of shitty conspiracy theorist self inflated grand delusionists was too high. I got banned.

Far as I know, the only X17 member who might actually still play is BlackDawn-X17, who plays BGH and Fastest Map games. You see him sometimes on that Ahzi Dhaki youtuber's games. I don't recall hardly ever seeing him in the discord though. That's how it is, people who were associated with the channel/clan in long years ago remember it and keep the tag, kind of like me, even if the desire to actually associate with whatever the current iteration is (if it's even still around) is less than zero.
I used to run SC2GG, if you remember that. Come to NHFFA discord. It's where a bunch of old players who all suck at BW hang out, as well as people who like to play FFAs for some reason. https://discord.com/invite/kWNQvnd

I'd pay a lot more to be scammed into BW. You made out like a bandit!

Our boy Artosis hit 40 and still doing it, what makes you think you're too old? You can chill, relax, watch some matches but don't hesitate to roll on ladder sometimes.

I remember him and pretty sure I played him on the BW ladder at some point in the last year.

I also played BlackDawn in the last couple months, hadn't knowingly played him since like 2006.
