What would make you quit gaming altogether?

for me, i would quit once games reach 70 bucks and if virtual reality gaming steps in...oh wait

I doubt I'll stop, if gaming gets ridiculously expensive(i.e. anything more than what Steam charges) I'll start a gaming hippy collective, we all make games, only for us.
I want to join...

I concider gaming to be a big shiny and glorious trophy on 4 legs. If all legs break the trophy falls into the same sewage that movies belly flopped into. Campaign storyline, length and quality have all already been snapped, crushed, and grinded. All that is left is multiplayer. Remember games like banjo-kazooie or donkey kong 64? Those games had great stories, good campaigns and were looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. Mario, zelda and other less known game series have remained decent, but the games that discontinued are needed! And we dont need shit like the new Turok, banjo nuts and bolts and the several final fantasies after 7. Most campaigns from 360 and PS3 games ive played are much closer to the length of arcade games than how they were in the non-online days. Although a hopeless prayer, I want games to be specifically online and specifically offline. Shadowrun touched on this, but wasn't exactly the greatest starter. Of course if this were to happen, making them 40-50 dollars would be better than charging us 80 for half-assed campaigns.

Gaming is one of the most important things to me. I might spend less time on games, but I will never quit.

A survey [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.130085] shows that 7% of The Escapists would quit gaming if their partner asked them to.

When a game is to boring to play anymore, I stop.

As for gaming altogether, probably a series of really bad games one after another. That being because the future would appear very bleak.

Can I be the fourth member? =D

OT: When games are consistently laughably bad and very expensive.

Life commitments I suppose. I don't suspect there will be any media that entertains and engages me more in the near future, so the most obvious candidate is out. Between work, school and fencing I already have precious few hours dedicated to gaming. During the periods where I have been had girlfriends, my gaming drops pretty dramatically because personal and social commitments tend to come first (and I've yet to meet a girl who would actually want to spend an evening indoors with a video game).

if it keeps on its course and everything that isn't an FPS with online multiplayer is a "casual game", thus making nintendo the once gaming giant on the same level of respect as popcap and forgetting all about the dreamcast, N64, and genesis.

yes i said it, gaming is heading that way. I honestly believe that Yahtzee is the only game reviewer who isn't catering to the pseudo-gamers who come home, play an hour or so of halo and call themselves gamers.

It wouldn't make me quit forever, but I get the feeling that gaming won't be at the top of my agenda when I'm working as a foreign correspondent in overseas warzones. If only because of limited access to WiFi. =P

If motion controllers replace traditional console gaming controls... then I'm out.
