There are pros and cons for either demographic: whilst being older may be ideal since not only you bypass age restrictions, you also have the capability on purchasing it with your own money without having to ask parents for that given that you have employment and recurring income. Gaming as a kid gives more time without having to dwell much on responsibilities that adults have to worry about but at the same time are held by school.

    Am adult, have a full time job, raised a kid, and never had a point in time where I couldn’t game for without needing to make it a priority. Time spent watching shows and movies went down because I enjoyed games more, but if one has some down time they can choose to play games as an adult.

    Gaming as a kid was fun because it was new, it is still fun as an adult because I can pick and choose what to play and when to play it.

      TV is the biggest waste of time. I enjoy some shows, but I can acknowledge that a lot of it really is just something to fill time rather than “art.” I’ve cut back my TV and YouTube consumption a lot, and it enables me to do a lot more non-passive hobbies. Worst case scenario I read or game, which I consider a much better use of my time.

      raised a kid

      I remember the Wii U being the greatest thing with a newborn because of the second screen. Holding a sleeping baby and playing Breath of the Wild was cool :D

        I was disagreeing with your statement that most adults don’t have time and gave a counter example. Never said that zero adults didn’t have time.
