>>1737965I served in the army for over a year where I had no access to videogames, I also spent 4 months in a remote village in the Balkans without videogames and without much internet access as a whole. And when I returned to normal life, I just continued playing games as usual. I never felt that which you are trying to describe, and don't want to. I don't have any withdrawals or anything like that. During all those long periods without games, I mostly did other things. Yeah it's entertainment, and I've read this ideo before but don't care for it. I have a job, I make money, I have a house, I have a girlfriend (and soon children), I have a car, my life is pretty stable. What I want to do with my free time is up to me. Mostly it's outdoors, fishing, working on my car. When I burn out on those, I play games or read books (but kinda rarely). I don't see the problem desu.
The family thing doesn't really apply for me, I don't live with my family. I live with my girl. My family lives many hours away, and we do meet. And we have a great time, but then go back to ordinary life.
I just wanna add that if all you do is play games, if you have no proper hobbies. Then you got a problem. And btw, I do bushcraft and fishing for entertainment too. I don't get much out of it other than my own joy. I make no money off of it and the education phase is finished, I rarely learn something new. I've been doing this for like 5 - 6 years.
