When/are you going to stop playing video games and why? I'm thinking about stop playing video games since my ps3 broke and I don't use my psp any more so I think it's a good time to stop, and move on with my life, not that I hated playing vids, and still will every now and then at a friends house. Are currently not playing any games? How old are you too. btw, I'm 17 too. I'm just wondering that's all.

I'm never going to stop playing games...unless I suddenly have no money and can't afford to lol. I'm 20 and I want to play gamesuntil I'm like 60 :P If you ask me, you're too young to stop playing games, but I suppose you'll still get your fix at your mate's house :D

I'm 27 now and been playing video games from when I was 5 (I think). There are only a few reasons I would ever stop playing:

1. I die. Can't do much of anything when you're dead.

2. There are no more good games being made.

3. All developers stop making games. If this ever happens, it will be a sad day indeed :( (unless No.2 happens first).

I really see no reason to ever quit gaming unless perhaps I'm physically unable. For me it would be the same as saying if I'd ever give up watching movies, reading books, or listening to music.

Im 23 and have been gaming for around 19 of those years (as soon as i was capable of holding a controller ;) )

Gaming has become more than a hobby for me, it is now a passion and way of life. Gaming does not interfere with other aspects of my life such as socialising, working and basically everything else, so i feel no need to predict when or where I will stop playing. I probably won't stop gaming unless the industry dies and there is little chance of that happening within my life tme. Tc, your age shows in the immaturity of your first comment. Do not take that as an insult please.

When I have kids, I would probably be playing video games with them. And I don't expect to have kids until well into my 30's. Late 30's perhaps.

Never if I can help it. I may systems if graphics get too realistic and whatever, but I'll stick with my systems I have now as long as I can.

I'll only quit gaming if niche and single player RPG/platformer games are not being made and only FPS online multiplayer games are all that are supported. I don't think that will ever happen though, thank GOD.

According to my doctors I'm developing arthritis, but it hasn't slowed me down too much :P My life is SUPER busy, but even so I will always find time to play video games. As far as mediums of entertainment go, gaming is my number one choice and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I don't see myself playing video games for the rest of my life. Next gen will probably be my last consoles before giving it up.

I am 29, and the first game I remember playing was Haunted House on the Atari 2600 when I was somewhere around 3-4. So....I am going to have to say I will stop when I'm dead. Or they just can't create captivating games any more.

that's a pretty daft question, it's like asking us "when are you going to stop watching tv?"

games = entertainment!

As long as there are good games out there, they will be played ;)

I hope I never stop playing games. I did stop playing games for a while when I was about 16 and then started again at about 17-18. I needed the money at 16 so I sold my PS2 & all the PS1/2 games that are now worth tons, I was also forced to sell my DDR games & dancing mats, so that also made me want to sell. It put me off games and I avoided them, because of the sadness and regret that I felt in selling them, but I had no choice really. Then I got back into them and boy am I glad. I hope to die before I'm 30 so I guess I'll stop playing when I die, I've got 10 years left!!!! Booooo..

I'm 32, been gaming since I was 5. I've got no intention on quitting gaming unless I become physically unable to game, if gaming continues to be clogged with far too many FPS games - especially the same tired war time shooter - and very little effort in other areas or if I die

It'll be the day when there's literally no game I'm looking forward to. It's more fun for me to ride the hype train and talk about fond memories, and I don't play games on a whim.
