I see where you’re coming from but idk if I agree.
Gaming has been one of the few consumer hobbies that has improved over the last few decades.
Sure, companies are greedy, but just like music, we are living in a golden age of access, such a huge library is available and no more console exclusives. A steam deck will give you generations of content.
Gaming is also a lot more accepted as an adult now. And honestly, so much of everyone’s time is spent on a phone that it’s pretty easy to replace that with a handheld that goes on standby instantly.
I think your talking about abundance of free time, which yeah I agree adulthood has no mercy for, but ironically gaming is one of the most effective hobbies if you have little time.

I think for me it’s a combination of the “time” people are mentioning, but also boredom. When you’re younger, everything is new. When you’re older you start noticing the repeating patterns in media. It’s the reason I also stopped watching anime. If I play a game now, it has to really be something that new that will hold my attention, outside of a couple of franchises. Outer Wilds for example, blew my mind.

Carpal tunnel is a bitch

I started playing Wind Waker in February and finished it in the middle of June, took me 50hs to finished it, so barely 10hr per month. Is the only game I played. And I don't even have kids.
That's pretty good

I can't be the only one whose parents strictly limited video games and who plays way more video games as an adult.
I destroyed online MW2 for endless hours back in the day but now I can get about an hour of AC Odyssey in before my thumbs go numb and start to hurt from carpal tunnel. I might have to go back to PC gaming

I was broken from the start, but also lucky enough to be born in a country that gives me the help and time to find what's wrong and fix it without asking for anything back. Because my road to be able to work has been, is and will be long I have so much time to enjoy what I can (within the bounties of my illness) and games are a big part of that. Gaming has helped me so much, and I wouldn't trade my unthinkable amount of hours exploring these cool worlds for anything else.

You know, I must have a skeleton of above average quality. I type on a normal keyboard with some bad habits and have done so since I was a teenager. You'd think I'd have carpal tunnel syndrome from wrist to ankle by now but no I'm in good shape.

Mine went away almost entirely when I switched from mouse to rollerball, but I do still get something similarly unpleasant when I play PS4 for too long

I was able to retain time and money for gaming and other hobbies by having a vasectomy.
Edit: Typo
Yup, there's plenty of time to have fun if you don't have to manage lil' ones. Not saying people who want kids shouldn't get them, but moreso that people who don't necessarily want them and just see it as something people have to do should consider a childless lifestyle. It's better for everyone that way.

Same. I would love to see a global societal shift towards viewing not having children as a perfectly normal thing to do.
