When do you quit video games?

I don't see a reason to quit. Some people read books in their free time and I play games. It's not like you get a career, family, kids, etc. and all of a sudden you have to change everything just to "be an adult".
I mean, I feel like it’s generally unproductive

Nobody is productive 24/7/365. I don't even think it's mentally healthy to not have down time. Everyone needs a break from responsibility and being productive.

Most hobbies are technically unproductive. The point is doing something you enjoy - everyone mentally needs that. If you're just not feeling it anymore then give it up for something else.

Bro no matter what you got going on in life you still need some down time relaxation. I’ve been married for 18 years. 2 kids, one going to college next year. 2 cats 2 lizards. Enough [censored] to keep you busy but when everyone goes to sleep it’s video game time. I hope I never stop playing

You can take up a new hobby, like wood working and that will be productive... do whatever you want my man. It is your life to live.

Some people physically need it. it releases oxytocin, there is no magic age to quit gaming but don't sell your system you may regret it.

I’ve found myself enjoying DD and video games less and less as a whole lately, at what point is it time to just sell my console and stop playing?
Like I’ll probably use it a bit in college but after college I’m hoping I’ll be finding a career, starting a family, and just focusing on a lot more important stuff.Stop when you no longer enjoy it. Keep playing if you do.
Degrees, career, and family do not have to be the end of all your hobbies. I’m 37 and grew up playing video games. I still use them to stay in touch with old friends and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Played them throughout college, graduate school, a career change, marriage, and plan to share them with my future children.

Yeah but it’s not about enjoyment all the time. My job in a decade won’t be enjoyment, it will be providing for my family, raising my children, being a good example to them.
Like in the grand scheme of things it just seems like a colossal waste of time -

Rise and grind
I'll sleep when I die
Every second of every day I'm moving forward to become a better person in every aspect and refuse to do anything that will slow me down -
The whole "I'll sleep when I die" mantra is not good for your overall health. As humans, we have a ton of different things on our plates daily. It is in your best interest to get quality sleep to be well rested physically and mentally to sustain a healthy lifestyle.

You don't have to quit to follow a career. You just have to find balance with it. I'm 40 years old have a great career, several other hobbies, Girlfriend, and a 16 year old son and would say I play more now than I did when I was younger. I use it as my relaxing time in the evening after running around at work all day. Everybody needs time to just relax and some people read, watch TV... some play video games. I only play DD and MUT and only commit to one at a time. I play on average 2 hours per night during the week and a lot on the weekend during the winter months. Just don't expect yourself to have every card in the game... thats for the 8+ hour a day guys... tough to have a career and play 40+ hours a week for sure.

Like in the grand scheme of things it just seems like a colossal waste of timeTime wasting is a nice escape for me. I have way more time than I thought I would at this point in my life. Time to play the show, workout, read, hike, work full-time, spend quality time with the wife, etc. Hell, I probably spend 10 hours a week smoking cigars and drinking beer on my deck (which is usually when I post here).
Most of that happens before 8 am. Being a morning person has advantages.

Im 39 and I play video games every day....I do play a lot of co-op with my wife......watching a movie is no different, or reading a book.
I see it this way, life is short, so just do what you enjoy, if you feel your wasting time then do something else, but if your having fun, do what you want man.
My 2cents anyway lol

I'm 40. Retired, 5 kids and a wife. I play everyday and she supports it as I'm not shoving cash in another ladies underthings.

Nah I won’t get divorced, my family is going to be the “things I enjoy”. Like I want to have a beautiful wife and then like 7 or more kids and I want to work hard for them to become the best father I can be, that’s my whole goal in life and I want to set an example of being a good father, which means avoiding things that won’t help me achieve such

Well that sounds like you will eventually feel worn out and run down an unhappy. It's just human nature. In my experience, the people that don't make time for "me" time are the most unhappy. You can have an amazing wife, and amazing kids, and make a boat load of money and still be unhappy.
