I haven't played a game for many years. I remember playing it cause of boredom. I had no friends and I was a virgin. Gaming was all I had. Thinking back, it wasn't fun. I am still friendless and a virgin. I am looking at current games on youtube, and it fucking sucks. How can an adult enjoy that shit? How can it be fun?
Am I missing something here? Or does everyone who play vidya as an adult male do it to escape their shitty existence?
The biggest demographic of avid gamers is actually 18-30 years old. Watching gaming videos on YouTube would have you think otherwise but adults are the biggest consumers of vidya.
I don't play much myself and I'm 22 but that's a personal choice as I have too much responsibility and obligations at this point in my life to plays video games for hours. If I got to a point where my life was put together and I had free time I would definitely play video games more often.
Everyone has their own form of escapism, movies, exercise, fapping to degenerate porn etc. It's apart of human nature, it doesn't inherently mean everyone who plays games is trying to avoid their shitty life. Mind you, someone who can't cope is more likely to excessively play video games the same way one would do drugs for their lack of coping skills.
recently became NEET and started playing vanilla wow again fuck you idiot im having a great time

i pretty much only play video games when im not doing literally anything else. Theyre just not fun to me anymore. I developed new hobbies like hiking, playing guitar etc.
If you think about it; if youre bored why would you just settle for something equally boring. Gotta find shit you actually like to do.

Yeah but fun is really subjective.
I don't think it's possible for anybody to pick up every top ten game out right now and enjoy them all.
Try new things and old things and stick to what you find enjoyable.

Video games stopped being fun for me awhile ago. They're an addiction to fill the gaping void that is my life.
I can't play single player games, only multiplayer games. Otherwise I have no one to talk to.
