Have you outgrown video games?

I used to be such a gamer, game 12hrs a day and in the past years I have been weaning off slowly off games. Video games look like a chore now, anyone else?

I still play retro games a bit here and there – it’s more of a lack of time rather than a lack of interest. I’m increasingly into gaming these days because of VR. I use an Oculus Quest 2 daily for exercise.

For a few years during the 16bit era I played a few classics like Lemmings and Another World. Later had a few Quake sessions but never really was a gamer. I think I’m too lazy to learn for the returns it gives me but I do like watching YouTube videos about gaming and VR

I played a lot of video games back when I was a teenager in the 80s. I kind of grew out of it back then, and don’t play anymore.

My little nieces have a Nintendo now, and they love it.

I’ve def grown out of video games. I received the new Halo and Battlefield for Christmas, and I’ve played Halo once and haven’t taken Battlefield out of the packaging, lol. But I used to love playing FPS games like Call of Duty and Battlefield

I have been unable to concentrate on video games for years now.

It’s a shame, as I used to play all the time, and nothing has seemingly replaced it other than torture/rumination

I rediscovered gaming recently. I bought a amiga 500 mini consol. Lots of good classics from my childhood. Some games might not hold the same value now, but there are still some that are great to play.

However I do feel guilty if I play in the middle of the day when I should be doing other things. So it’s mostly something I do in the evening every now and then.

I outgrew video games years ago. I still want to play but my Xbox stopped working and I just have a PS4 and PS4 doesn’t have Halo. I can’t afford a new Xbox.

I never play videogames… used to a few in the past, but I get stressed from them. Even ill if they are violent.

I still love video games, but I can’t get as absorbed into them as I used to.

I used to play BioShock for hours. Or Diablo 3. Hubby and I had a blast playing the first Life is Strange and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. I also like silly games, such as OctoDad.

We’re currently playing Horizon: Zero Dawn. It’s a really cool game. But it’s taking forever for us to get through it.

i take games too serious these days when i play so it’s hard to enjoy them. I used to like gaming but these days it’s hard to play.
