I grew out of video gaming the moment I started to realize that games are a manufactured irreality where nothing you do really matters, because once you quit the game you gained nothing in life, it is a well engineered time sink.
Since my time became a scarce resource and I started to value it, only a rare unique mind twisting puzzle game or short experimental experience might be worth my time, but I will not touch games that eat hundreds of hours of your life for well, nothing at all.
Also, when I was young and had almost no friends, games were a refuge and distraction, now I don’t need them. If at all, now I’d rather play a board game with other people, because it’s wholesome real world interactions and social fun.
This.
