Playing video games is one of my ways to spend my free time, a way to relax and have fun. It's a hobby. So, no, I don't waste time and money on it. Exactly. That's how I see it as well. It's a hobby that I do in my free time - if you're having issues that need to handled in your life and you're gaming instead of taking care of that, I'd consider that wasting your time.

As long as you're playing your video games judiciously, it's always going to be worth it even if you tend to spend a few bucks in the game's microtransactions if you're the type who plays mostly free to play games.

You have managed to keep it tight and short on your gaming budget if you haven't spent money on buying 9th-gen console till now. You're better than most people. Thanks. The main reasons are that there are only 3 or so games exclusive to the 9th gen that interest me so far, and I still have a lot of 8th-gen games that I want to buy. I'll probably wait for 10th gen to buy a new console, unless they get rid of physical media, in which case I'll get a hybrid gaming PC instead. With physical media gone the only advantage consoles will have is a streamlined UI, which I might as well trade in for DRM-free digital copies and mods.

There should always be priority in whatever someone is doing. Yes, it's good to have fun but when it's time to do other important things, it's right to move on from fun and face that.

Unfortunately, there are some people who just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
