do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used to be I couldn’t wait to see what happened in the story, what new items you could collect, what new worlds the developers had created. Not anymore. I return to playing the same franchise for a quick FPS match or three and then I’m done.

    Yup, this is the real reason. When you’re a kid/teenager, you don’t realize just how much free time you have to spend on stuff like video games. Then you become an adult and have way more responsibilities, and suddenly video games just aren’t as appealing as a time sink as they used to be.

      Lol I’m in my 40s, and play with guys same age as me up to guys in their 60s. Just because you don’t have the time, doesn’t mean all adults don’t.

          What flex? I’m simply stating that he doesn’t speak for all adults. Once my kids were old enough to hold a controller, I got them into gaming. All 3 are teenagers now, and I love gaming with them. One of the few hobbies where age really doesn’t matter.
