Am I simply too old to play games?

Yeah I have that same issue, no games are exciting to me anymore and the ones I played daily seemed like chores. I think the reason it happened to me is because I realized that these games are getting me no where in life and that I wasn't bettering myself by playing them. But then again that's all I used to do all day, I don't know what your situations is though

I used to like gaming a lot when I was a teen, but I dropped it like a year ago in my early twenties now since it begun to feel like a huge waste of time.

I am not a moralfag or anything, I smoke cigarettes daily and like to binge drink alcohol occasionally, but with videogames, I have started to feel that time spent playing them can be used on learning something new, or talking to someone on internet. Besides all that, when I do try to pick up some of my favourites (Mass Effect series, Total War series are some of my biggest favourites I have replayed a lot) I find myself getting bored and playing through the game begins to feel like a chore. I have tried to get into new games but my computer is old as shit and doesn't run the new ones, and the new ones that do work have no meaningful content and are either kiddie-tier or super simplistic. I have enjoyed some online games in past but when I have tried them in my 20's, they are loaded with cheaters, hackers, scammers or total newbs who spout stupid memes or beg money constantly.

This is not a sad thought, I feel pretty content about ditching this habit, but it feels like a part of my childhood is in the past now, which gets me nostalgic sometimes.

After reading this, I think I know what the problem and the solution are. I feel exactly the same, except maybe even more extreme, for example even if I play for only like 10 minutes (after an entire day of productive work) I feel like I'm wasting my time.
Being honest with myself, I've felt this way for a long time and I think, because of how much I enjoyed games when I was younger I tried to force myself to enjoy them now, when I simply can't.

besides the industry being rehash and no new content you could simply be too old. i founs that when i got my 3ds (wow that was 6 years ago) i was less likely to use it than my ds back in the day. and even with my ps3 and pc, i just barely used them.

because it is a waste of time, just like being here is. the only difference is one is long term satisfaction which provides socialisation

yeah I have the same feelings,

yet I canwatch a lot of tv shows and movies and not have this same feeling even though they are just as bad of a time sink

nope. plenty of people older than you and more mature than you play video games.

you just dont like games anymore. people grow out of old hobbies. people pick up new ones. its okay. it does not mean you are 'too old' by any stretch of the imagination.
