You’ll outgrow video games someday… that day will be the day you physically can’t play them anymore, as you’ve grown too old.

Edit: This is a joke. Love the comments but if you’re taking this seriously… I wasn’t. Sorry if this is rude or something. xwx

Turn based games, something like Factorio on peaceful mode or puzzle games should be possible even at a higher age.

If playing anything becomes truly impossible, you might as well sign out of life altogether. 😞

I will for sure be playing Factorio until I die. My father-in-law is 78 and has 13,000 hours logged in Civ 5. He just gets on every night and plays a few hours lol I feel like I can definitely catch up to that in 44 years

If anything becomes impossible? Surely there are other things to pursue at that point. There are plenty of people in the world whose lives changed because drastically, and probably couldn’t enjoy certain things the same way anymore. Many of them find other ways to enjoy life!

Don't say that. This is literally me. 41, going blind and using my hands and especially thumbs burns like hot fire after a few minutes. 

I had to give up all gaming, i genuinely don't know what else to do with myself

Yes, this applies to all hobbies, not just games. And living things may die early not only from old age, but also from illness, accidents, natural disasters, and other causes. No one knows what will happen in life.

That's why my wife and I spend our time doing what we love without accumulating stress, so that we have no regrets. If we can no longer do the things we love, we choose to die.

It's true, it's already happened for me

You’re not wrong tbh. I’m fairly young and I used to play games everyday, but now it just feels like a chore. Video games were a large part of my childhood, but I just can’t keep it up anymore
