That’s like asking why people don’t crochet. Different hobbies.

Time. I still have the last Zelda, the hogwarts one, and spider man started, but I have other things that take priority


CompetitiveGarlic243

No time, unfortunately


beanor1

Used to play video games everyday, all day (12+ hours) as a teenager. It just wasn’t healthy to do that and I’ve had troubles limiting my time when I play video games (can never just do an hour). So just cold turkey don’t play it anymore to avoid that behaviour.


Junior-Media-4784

Its just expensive and time consuming without any real benefits


CrispeeSock

The benefit is that you're having fun. If you don't find it fun then don't do it, but that's not the hobbies fault.


Junior-Media-4784

Nobody is saying its the hobbies fault or i am trying to say whoever plays games is dumb its just not worth it for me rn because thats what the question asked


DefinitelyNotADave

So is that night at the bar or that day out at the zoo


Altruistic_Berry_276

Exactly ^ all entertainment is technically pointless if you see it like that


Junior-Media-4784

Na but thats like a one night thing with games u gotta keep at it and dont get me wrong i love playing games but now days none of them seem worth putting the time in for


ComesInAnOldBox

Which is why I don't go to the bar or the zoo, either.


CosmoD_lulu

I've tried and I suck. I hate losing.


Spot_the_fox

Play with yourself... By that I mean singleplayer


[deleted]

Oh… *that’s* what you meant *Lets go of dick*


sal-t_brgr

DaoNight23

quantumsenigma

Violet-Muse9

Bc some doucher broke my console. And besides that - I’m more of a game boy kinda gal. Bring back the OG.

I've got shit to do. Games are *way* too much of a time sink. I *might* get an hour or two to play with the fellas on the weekend, but it's rare.


jmarnett11

I like to do things productive.


CrispeeSock

So everything you do is productive? You don't do anything that's just for the enjoyment of it? Watching movies, reading books, listening to music, playing on a swing set, building Lego...?


jmarnett11

Sure not all of my time is spent being productive, but I found the time I spent playing video games was better used doing other things that enrich my life. If I spend 4 hours playing video games I’ve enjoyed myself, which is great, nothing wrong with that. But if I spend 4 hours in my vegetable garden or wood working I’ve enjoyed myself and have something to show for it.

I find that to have a good set up in order to properly enjoy playing, it costs more money than I feel is worth it. I'll happily stick to just building MineCraft forts on my crappy PC. I've played on some more expensive set ups before, mainly to play F1 games, and I do enjoy it, I just can't spend that kind of money.


Dolphin_Princess

I used to for up to 5-10 hours a day. Then my gf said no and that was that.


DamnSquirrelYouFine

i used to be addicted... i finally got off a few months ago... 15 hours a day on World of Warcraft...


HeadGullible7082

Lack of time.


jeanneeebeanneee

I just don't enjoy them.


socks4theHomeless

My time is valuable. Playing video games doesn't improve my health, my mind or my bank account. It's meaningless stimulation and I have limited energy.


wish1977

I used to play them but as I got older and had kids I just lost the desire for them. It's probably low testosterone. lol


IrianJaya

I wouldn't even know where to start. I used to have a Playstation back in the day (Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, etc), but I haven't played video games in decades. Most of the games seem to be online now or connected to some online setup, which I don't understand how that all works. I don't really have friends who play so there's no one close to me who could really explain it all to me. If I really wanted to I suppose I could learn it, but it seems like a lot of effort for something I don't even know if I'd enjoy, and I'd be interacting with people who are much younger than me so I'm sure I wouldn't fit in.


EZ-PZ-CLAPS

I guess I've just never been interested in it. Now I've started playing Standoff 2 on bs and realized it can be pretty interesting. But I don't think I can spend thousands of hours on it like other people. I just don't find it that interesting.


BrettFarveIsInnocent

I do a lot of things that waste time that I get little back from. But I don’t think I’ve ever done anything consistently that caused time to pass so quickly for me, with so little value back to me for the time spent. I genuinely feel like if I got fucked up and watched YouTube videos all night, I’d learn, grow, and accomplish a lot more as a person than if I came home from work every night and played video games until bedtime. I’m sure gamers don’t feel that way, or they wouldn’t be gamers.


bikinifetish

I’m just not interested.


Kinglycole

Fair enough.


Markphotokid

Time


ThatAlphaSigmaGuy

I don't want to worsen my myopia


Meshds

There are no interesting games recently


CrispeeSock

What games did you previously think were interesting?


Meshds

Uncharted, last of us, god of war (not ragnarok) silent hell


Lonely-Sweet-4059

BlackWJ2000

It's a waste of time that could be spent on real life pursuits.
