Games are so diverse, I couldn't outgrow them. There would always be a new release out that would catch my eye.
I'll probably eventually stop... starting to work a lot more and starting college in a few weeks, so that might stop it a little... plus with Activision Blizzard being assholes, not going to buy much from them anytime soon... I don't really see it as some immature or kid thing, but I don't see myself doing it forever... and the poll options kinda suck...
I very much doubt that I'll ever stop playing good games so long as there are good games to play.
"Outgrow" video games? That sounds roughly analogous to "outgrowing" sports or books or television. Games have been growing alongside us since Nintendo hauled the industry back to its feet in the 1980s; how on earth could you outgrow a medium that encompasses such a wide range of appeal?
Perhaps you might not have as much time to game as you grow older, or not many things will come out that you want to play (and simultaneously, the games you have already lose replay value). That's not an indication of growing maturity, it's the simple addition of outside constraints. Losing interest in certain types or genres of game is natural, but going all the way and claiming to outgrow the use of leisure time altogether is self-delusional at best, tragic at worst.
So no, I will not outgrow video games. They're simply too large overall to grow past.

I definitely can't see it happening anytime soon, especially since adult gamers seem to be becoming more accepted with time. For as long as you still enjoy something I see no reason to stop.
That was what I was thinking too. And like with television, films and books you don't need to be in any specific physical condition to enjoy them (unlike sport). So I could be playing them till i'm very old.NeutralDrow said:
I've been playing games for over 25 years now. There have been times when I was bored with playing for longer times. But untill now there were always new games that re-sparked my interest. I doubt that will change in the future
