When I worked at Intel manufacturing, I never met anybody that retired from the organization. At Boeing, it seems like every month I run across someone new who is going to retire in the near future. I'm told that a quarter of the employees at Boeing are eligible for retirement in the next 5 years (I believe people can retire once they hit 55 years of age, provided they worked enough years with the company).
At Intel, I mingled with shift workers and pager-carrying engineers. Plus I met so many gamers! It was wonderful. At Boeing only with engineers and I have only met one other person who plays computer games.
You can infer and reinforce all sorts of biases you already have about these two companies.
Thus far, there are no retirees who are gamers and no gamers who have retired from gaming that I know of.

I mingle with shift workers, scientists, and engineers. The only gamers are two engineers, one of which plays games with his kids regularly. My company is full of aging workers who have worked at the same company 35 years. You can also infer biases about my company.
