But to be honest, I hope I'll give up on games in order to spend more time with books as I see it way more beneficial.
Cultural perception is a bunch of paranoia if you ask me. It’s worrying about what other people think. Those people don’t care if you pay your rent or eat your next meal. Your typical adult works an 8-5 job and they work another couple hours managing their household. You pay your taxes and you give most of your time to satisfying other people. If you enjoy a video game then it doesn’t matter what age you are. I see people throwing back beer while watching a football game. If that’s the only thing I can have as an adult then no thanks.I'm waiting for it. At certain times in my life I did give up on games, but it wasn't very long lasting. Due to cultural perception I sometimes feel bad to be my age and still play games, but then I see all those people spending hours upon hours watching TV shows and sports games on cable TV and they consider it normal!
But to be honest, I hope I'll give up on games in order to spend more time with books as I see it way more beneficial.
You're a dickI'm 30 and I spoke to a fella who was 52 who plays games and when he told me still plays games I laughed and he got MAAAAAAAD. I just didn't think family men still bothered especially 50+ but it is what it is. I play Apex on my PS4 and most of the average player base range from like 10-18. I've played with people older than me like twice.
Lovely way to bump a thread. And yeah he is.You're a dick
We were there when it began. It was our hobby before you were a thought in your dad's jeans. How do you think a family man should spend his spare time? Bowling?I'm 30 and I spoke to a fella who was 52 who plays games and when he told me still plays games I laughed and he got MAAAAAAAD.

I think C.S. Lewis covered this subject quite wellSince when being "mature" means you die inside? Its okay to enjoy your hobby no matter the age.

Try meditation.I’m 37 and getting ready to quit gaming. I find games to be too long and bloated and difficult nowadays. They lost the charm to me. It’s been fun but it’s time.
Instead of quitting, maybe consider looking at different genres, like puzzle games, (point and click) adventure games, that sort of thing. Slower paced, so you can dip into them as you please.I’m 37 and getting ready to quit gaming. I find games to be too long and bloated and difficult nowadays. They lost the charm to me.

40 here, still gaming strong. My pops went through a gaming phase at one point about ten years ago. He was hooked on Command and Conquer type games on PC. When we got our first NES, I will never forget this, but he would play Top Gun with the controller upside downI've been playing since my mom got me the NES with Mario and duck hunt. I am almost 40 and don't see myself stopping anytime soon. It's a hobby and stress relief. My father is 63 and has hundreds of hours into gta5 online under his belt. Guess it runs in the family
I hope the chip shortage is over by then lolI will eventually become the ultimate undead gamer at age 500 and by that time ps19 or something should be out which will be cool ._.
This is tunnel vision. It focuses on what top executives want in their games to earn a profit from in the long run. It doesn’t focus on sheer amount of hard work designers have put into their games or the work of indie developers creating games on their own terms. There’s a lot out there to pick and choose from. It’s been a growing medium for over 40 years.I’m 37 and getting ready to quit gaming. I find games to be too long and bloated and difficult nowadays. They lost the charm to me.
