re: When is an appropriate age to quit playing video games?

Never but you shouldn’t spend hours doing it as an adult. If you want to play a couple hours a week I don’t see the issue with it

why is this diff than watching tv or sports or Netflix?. never really understood why ppl care so much

Never.

I rarely do since free time with a toddler is essentially non-existent. But sometimes you gotta pown some noobs

Gen x was the first generation to grow up with video games. I'm in my 40's and still play with friends so i guess i would say when i can no longer use my hands.
I'm very competitive and to old now for competitive sports so i take my smack talk to the console and wreck dem young bucks. I usually confine myself to the back room of the house so the wife and kids dont have to hear the majority of it Beats hanging at the bars or drinking i guess

I would say somewhere around the age of frick YOU

Have a friend who is 33 years old and games all night on weekends.

So what? What hobbies do you have that you should "put up" because you are 30+ years old?

Well I am 38 and just got back into gaming (Fallout 4, Witcher 3). So I'd say do whatever the frick you want to do as long as you aren't hurting other people.

90

Never. Good friend of mine makes well over 6 figures every year, and is still a hard core gamer. Do what you want and stop caring what others may think.

49 and still going strong. Play long hours on weekends also while wife watches HallMark movies. :

Safer and healthier than hanging out in beer joints all the time( not that it is bad either)
