When will you call it quits?

[Laz]

This thread is addressed to all of those out there that play videogames, (aka the whole site) I have a question that can be rephrased in many ways:
How old do you think you are gonna be when you finally stop playing games?
What age limit would you set on yourself to stay away from the controller..foreva?
...and so on.
The point is, when do you think you'll stop sitting on your ass wasting time with the console? Please give a reason to backup your answer.

Probably when it becomes hazardous to my health but I don't really see that happening.

Well to me video games is as much as a waste of time as movies or reading a book :\

 

[BlackBlitz7]

Honestly, I hope I never give them up. Like a lot of people, I want to get a job in VideoGame programmer. So I'm really going to work hard to make that a reality. Even if I just didn't have the interest of playing....I still would love to be involved

Even then
I will play them

 

[Solar]

I don't know, when I reach an age where I don't want to anymore

But until then, keep on playing

 

[Chakolat Strawberry]

There's probably going to be some point my life where I'll rarely be playing video games (like when I have much more important things to focus on), but I doubt I'm ever going to completely quit.

well idk, 50 year old gamers sound weird to me

Never.
My reason: Video games are amazingly entertaining.

When the city cuts my power for not paying the bill which I would have had it not been for video games.
Maybe.

 

[Gram]

HA! like i'll ever quit.

been at since i was 5 no reason to stop now.

 

[Crimson Crashing]

I'll still be playing Final Fantasy when I am 50.

Um excuse me, but when you become "to old?"

I'm sorry but why do I get the feeling that games are nothing but toys?

Games are like books, and films. Games like Heavy Rain, or Enslaved can tell extraordinary story, that feel very hollywood like. Games are slowly evolving. Once they were primarily nothing but silly toys, emphasizing on gameplay mostly. Today games are about the acting and scene peformance by it's voice acting, the cinematics, the story, the atmoshphere.

Games are equal to movies. They are capable of telling amazing stories, and can suck you in like nothing else.

So the answer is never. I'll play till i'm dead.

 

[impart]

I will play forever.

it gets even better now because I can buy new systems when I want and not have to wait till Christmas like I did when I was a kid. lol

 

[Oberon]

I expect to play games for the rest of my life; not gonna lie.

[SogeUsopp114]

i'll never ever stop playing video games ever, video games are so much fun i can't see myself not playing video games in the future, its just not impossible!

 

[IceBlueWings]

I am sure I will not be playing games as much as I do now (although at the moment I am not playing games a lot as I used to before) but I don't see myself playing no games at all when I'm old. I can see myself playing video games with my son (which is something I really look forward to, if I get married and have children). I do see myself spending little time playing games when I'm older because I have things to do and there are probably better things to do than sit in front of the TV screen all day.

If I stop playing games completely when I'm old, I'll be watching my grandchildren or whoever play video games. I do enjoy watching people play video games and I don't criticize how they play too.

 

[The14thMusician]

I personally view videogames as a form of entertainment, such as going to the movies, or reading a book. And with that, I will more than likely never stop playing, unless other obligations cause me to stop.

Such as money issues, family emergencies (health of a family member, etc.), my occupation (I am majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Video Game Design so I never expect this reason to stop me from playing games at all) and what not.

I love videogames, and their benefits, besides entertainment which can range from socializing with friends/family long distance, helping with hand eye coordination/reflexes, and just working your brain in general.

 

[Darkwing_Duck]

When it gets old I guess.

 

[The Conquerer]

I don't know. I know for a fact that I don't play as much as I did before. I haven't touched my PS3 since Sunday (this is becoming the norm for me). I don't know when or if I'll stop, I use video games as an outlet for when the stresses of the world become too great. Also, it's just really fun when you're bored or if you just want to play video games.
