Do you think you will ever stop playing video Games?

Well, I'll never stop playing the games of past and present that I enjoy. Future is another thing entirely though. It seems gaming is becoming more and more digitally focused, and if it gets to a point where it is completely digital, I will stop. Of course, I'd just replay older games so it's not like I'll ever give it up completely.
Yes, so do I. I refuse to buy console games that are not sold as physical copies and I will also retreat to older gen/retro games. I'm actually doing some of that retro gaming now, since at the moment, I am unable to really spend on new games.krazykidd said:
Has already happened for me. I am 30 years old, married, 2 kids(with another planned), and a "career". Mass Effect 3 was to be the last big game for me, and that was only because it was the end of the series. I just don't have the time anymore.
I still play some games, but mostly cheap and short indie titles. Oh, and I got married, had the kids, and started my career Since I played the first Mass Effect, so it was kinda special for me. I didn't let the ending ruin it for me, and appreciated the time I had with the ME universe.
From "Alley Cat" in the 1980s to "Mass Effect 3" in the 2010s. It's been a blast.

More seriously, if I start having kids, I would probably spend more time with them and a little less on gaming. I would probably sneak in some time to play games when they are napping or in the early morning, since I'm an early riser.
I don't think so, for me that's like asking if I'd ever stop reading books or watching movies. It's just something I've always done and I don't see myself stopping.
ive been playing games since i was 4. halo was my first game. i will never stop. they are a part of my routine. get home, play for an hour or two, get to work again. people can call me a loser all they want. they can go clubbing, but i will be at home hanging with friends, drinking a brew, and kicking ass. its also the hub my friends collect round. i have made so many friends with a late night halo LAN match, or a left 4 dead marathon. it is, quite simply, the most relaxing thing i do all day.
in a word... That said, I have been in the position of being unable to play video games for years at a time. Twice, actually... both times were work related.
I came right back when I had the time, though.
I doubt I'll ever give up on new games completely, either, even though at this point most of what I play would be considered retro gaming.

The only time I'll ever fully stop gaming is when the games become nothing but steaming piles of shit, with little to no hope for anything good. Oh, and if they all become dedicated to motion controls. Motion controls never bothered me that much. It's when EVERYTHING has to use them that there would be a problem.
Even in this generation of brown and grey shooters, I find many games worth keeping up the hobby. Until that well runs dry, I don't plan on stopping at any time in my life.

Gaming has been a pretty big part of my life. I probably don't see myself stopping for a long time. If not ever.
Unless some unfortunate event stops me from being able to play video games I will keep on playing indefinitely. In fact I am excited to see how video games will evolve, and I hope I live to see a time when you can enter virtual realities to play games.
It's possible. There was a time when I would've responded to this question with a definite "Hell no" But now I'm not so sure. I've felt my general interest in gaming has waned over the last several years or so. This began roughly about the time the Xbox 360/PS3/Wii came out. It's as if something is missing from gaming now, but I can't quite put my finger on it. And more than that though, the gaming community itself has become one I'd really rather not associate myself with either.
So yeah, there may come a time in the not-to-distant future that I may just drop gaming altogether.

I mean, I've likely still got another 10 years before I have kids that'll be old enough to play games (as I have yet to have kids), and I imagine I'll be playing games right alongside them until I am physically no longer able to play games. That's the most likely thing, I think.
