I only spend about 2-3 hours playing video games each day. Since I still live with my parents and they want what's best for me, I'm only allowed to play during the weekends, holidays, and Fridays. I am only allowed a certain time-limit as well. I am kind of thankful for that, cause I have other things to do during those days too you know. And so much home-work during the weekdays! But if I moved out already, I would play 4-8 hours instead! :)

Wait, how are you able to post 6 posts when you are only allowed to post 5 posts a day for being a new user. Unless you found out that glitch!

It depends, on the weekdays I never play more than 2 hours, but on the weekends I can play for 5 hours straight.

Depends on the day, week,or month. Can be anywhere from 0-12. Mostly it's been either 0-4 recently with school and jobs.

Depends what games are out. I could tell you if Arkham Knight dropped tomorrow I'd probably be investing 3-4 (probably more ) daily for a good while. I recently got a Wii U and Pikmin 3, and I consistently played through it around four hours per day until completing it four times in a row, I enjoyed it so much.

Most of the time I'm perusing various gaming sites and boards. Talking about gaming I find is almost as enjoyable as doing it.

Usually about 3-4 hours day sometimes less. But not all at once. Since it's spring now and the weather is getting better, I spend more time outside. During the winter I could easily spent 6 hours a day playing.

It depends on the day, work, study etc.

Somedays it might be 2-3 hours and other days it´s 0 and it can be weeks with no gaming at all.

Anytime you make an account, you are automatically set with 5 posts on your account. Don't know why that happens.

Depends on what new games I have. Lately I'm replaying some old ones and having a pretty busy university life as well, I only get to play every two days for about 2 hours. I expect that to increase once I get my hands on a brand new game.

Well, because I have been swamped by homework this semester and thus do not play every day, if I did the math, the average amount I play on a given day would seem really low. When I do get to play, I normally play about two hours; but it takes me forever to beat games because of how busy I am nowadays. I started playing BioShock 2 on February 23rd and I'm only at Fontaine Futuristics...

I don't play everyday. Sometimes I go weeks without playing anything. Just depends as sometimes I might play a game every night for a couple hours till I'm bored of it, then not play for a month. A week ago I pre ordered Bound by Flame on Steam and have yet to play it. Mostly because I don't feel like diagnosing why I have no audio on my PC. It's setup for a steam box so I'd have to bust out my mouse/kb, run task explorer and then figure out wtf.....nah, screw that, not in the mood to diagnose PC's stupid problems, it's always something and this is a brand new install even. It's likely the reason it's my least favorite platform.

I get more game time out of my 3DS or PS3 than I have anything else in a very long time. Kinda sad.

I am disabled so I have time on my hands, I average 4-8. But if I have a new awesome game it can be lots more, and there are other times I get in a reading mood or television/movies than I will go days only touching Netflix on my console.

This maybe three or four days a week, the others 0-4. If I have a lot of free time and a game I really like it could be more.

Most of the time 0 hours a day lately. It really depends on work and school. I can go weeks without even loading a game up because I'm too busy. When I do get the chance to play its usually for a couple of hours.

Varies wildly, though I'd guess on average it's in the 4 hour range per day when I've got a game or games I'm actively playing.

I play 2 hours a day, and 12 hours a week on average. This is because I have limits, and I obey them. However, although rarely, sometimes I get an additional hour of gaming time on Sundays on the console, and sometimes play all night on my Nintendo, which could add up to a few hours extra.

I probably play games 5-6 hours a week if that.

way too many.

sometimes I think I have a problem.

I definitely play video games when I should be doing other stuff, i.e. socializing, cleaning my room, doing laundry, etc.. Basically if I am not at work or attending appointments I've made, I am pretty much at home playing video games or on the computer.

I rarely enjoy it any more, I just do it out of habit. Like Battlefield 1 came out and I was all "Holy shit this is amazing" because I still love games and I probably played it 20-30 hours in the first week, then I stopped because it kind of killed it for me and bought another game (disposable income).

This is what I should do, but I lack discipline.

I work full-time so work nights I'll go usually just about a single hour gaming, but on weekends it can range from 2-10 hours a day depending on what I'm doing (Final Fantasy, Minecraft, so on and so forth.) Half of that is recording for Youtube but it's still game playing.
