Do you think gaming is immature? (Page 2)

Question

I think it is. Sitting around playing videos games for hours at a time when you're in your 30's is immature to me.

Cody_Travers · Answer

Why do people think that playing video games is an immature or a waste of time activity? Playing video games is truly no different from enjoying a movie, reading a book, playing chess or other activities that adults partake in to absorb their leisure time. It is similar to a lot of other hobbies that people do just for fun.

chauvinistic_pig · Answer

Immature in 30s means u aren't finansialy stable, u aren't independant, u dont know what u want in life. U are nothing with awful undeveloped personality, and same coping mechanisms as a child, that i would call more immature than gaming.

ShortCircuit · Answer

No. I think that if you manage your time well enough and you get done what needs to be done first, then you should be able to spend your time doing what you enjoy.

There is nothing immature about that.

Unit1 · Answer

Is make up immature? All you do is stand in front of a mirror and paint your face for hours at a time when you're in your 30s. Thought so... Not really a pleasant mirroring effect, isn't it?

wankiam · Answer

is watching tv, reading or listening to music immature too then. its just a form of entertainment and or escapism just like coming on here

D1VADAME · Answer

I LOVE to game. Nothing better than to snug down and immerse yourself in a world where you really matter.

Anonymous · Answer

3 more years until I'm 30 but I still love to play video games. I don't get a chance to play them as much as I would like but I don't think it's immature I think it's a hobby that people do to have fun.

HOAAH · Answer

No, my husband works 12 hours a day so he can relax if he wants to. It makes him happy, it's his nothing box

MrMysteryMan · Answer

Nope, neither is watching cartoons or reading comic books. Maturity has more to do with character than what you do for fun.

AaronKrieger · Answer

It doesn't matter what age you're playing videos games at. It's whether you're still doing the average adult responsibilities. There is nothing wrong with playing videos game in your spare time.

booshlinux · Answer

If your not a slob, can support yourself, and have a decent job who cares what other people do. If it makes you happy then why not do it? They ain't hurting nobody.

TuMeManques · Answer

I suppose it depends on how you spend the rest of your time. Everyone needs something they enjoy for downtime and relaxation. However I think gamers have a tendency to be immature. Most grown men move on to other interests.

DeeperMeaning · Answer

No, it's a form of entertainment. How is it any less "mature" to play games for hours than it is to watch TV for hours, or listen to music for hours, or be online for hours. What's the difference?

lovelyhoneybones · Answer

If you're playing them for hours and neglecting responsibilities, then yes. If you're gaming on your day off or just to relax, no.

Bloodflows15 · Answer

I've heard that gaming has benefits... plus gaming is a fun hobby. So I guess as long as it isn't consuming their life its okay.

Eternallylucky · Answer

Yeah, it's time to get and smell the roses and drink some coffee. :)

Cammy137 · Answer

As opposed to sitting around on this or Facebook? Or sitting around watching TV. No. Gaming is just another form of entertainment.

hornetz18 · Answer

Hey we all kill time in different ways. Some people read a book, watch a movie, or binge netflix. I really enjoy playing video games so that's how I spend my down time.

firestarfourtyfour · Answer

I dont think it is. Depending on the type of gaming, it can give the same mental stimulation as reading a book, if not more so. Gaming can actually improve reaction times, which is why 3 out of 5 of the most advanced doctors out there report playing video games.

yehasm · Answer

This is a "depends on context" situation. Yes, if you're playing for hours on end and you don't take care of yourself and neglect your adult responsibilities... then it's bad. A few hours a day on the weekend while maintaining a full time job? Nah...

I used to be that kid who could game for hours on end. Now I have a job and can't play for more than 30 minutes at a time.

pingiluv · Answer

I think only immature if you let it consume your whole life, like those parents I think in South Korea who left their baby at home to play at the WiFi bar, the baby died due to lack of care :’(

Astoriana · Answer

Everything in moderation. I don’t see the harm in having a pretty mild and common hobby so long as it doesn’t interfere with your life in any negative way.

Unigel · Answer

Yes, if it makes you bail on your responsabilities. Although it's not the video game fault (same problem would be with someone reading/drinking/sleeping instead of doing what he's supposed to)

TrueCelt · Answer

Tell your boyfriend you feel neglected. Or move on to someone who won't make you feel this way. It has very little to do with video gaming. The person, is immature. Not the thing they're doing

kaliforniaNorth · Answer

Long as your bills are paid and u handle your responsibilities there’s nothing wrong with gaming at any age

Anonymous · Answer

saying its immature is the wrong word. It really doesn't make sense to call it being immature. what would make it immature is doing it excessively while putting off responsibilities. That said, ANY activity can make you immature but playing video games itself does not make someone immature

Political_dude · Answer

Gaming isn't immature. For us, shopping single cloth for 5 Hrs is immature. These are personal choices and no one is asking for what do you think. Also if you have decided your side don't post question

shadow342000 · Answer

I don't it of itself is immuture, however, how you react to what happens in the game and how you treat others that intrupt can often directly reflect raw maturity which many lack.

dionnexxx · Answer

If it just fun no or u make a serious living.. But u should show ur mature side as well as having fun

DevikaButts95 · Answer

Literally it's a past-time. There is nothing wrong or immature with partaking in an activity you enjoy.

catj9999 · Answer

I can't see the problem with video games if I had more free time I would play them

CT_CD · Answer

I don't play video games that often but what's immature about it? Is sitting around watching T. V. for hours at a time immature too? Playing video games is not an innately immature activity, any more than watching movies or listening to music is.

FýrdracaDócincel · Answer

There are people well into their 40s who sit around all day watching football. There's very little difference to me.

irrationally97 · Answer

It's basically the same as watching TV or movies or reading. It's just a form of entertainment to pass the time.

JDavid25 · Answer

As long as you handlin yo business as an adult then it should be all good all around. Maybe it's just their way of relaxin..

ChronicThinker · Answer

It's no less immature than any other game, social media, hobby, or the like.

totalledwheat · Answer

How is it any different than old people playing chess at a park?

PinkMichae · Answer

It's entertainment. No more different then sitting around watching a movie or tv. It just takes more brain power.

Sixgun77 · Answer

It's just like any other activity. During the warm months I'm out fishing, camping, and sailing. During the cold months I catch up on my computer games and target practice at the indoor range.

JimRSmith · Answer

Each to their own.  I don't game myself, but I couldn't care less what other people do. They're not hurting anybody by doing it.

CandacePerry · Answer

I love gaming is one of things guy's and girl play game and they are bit immature but still can get immature players online.

Goodwifie · Answer

no but as life changes then your priorities need to change with it.  I understand that it can be a great escape an enjoyable way to unwind.

madgoat · Answer

It still has that stigma to an extent.  Partly because it used to be teenage boys mainly.  Partly due to people that propagate that image, people like you.

JustALonelySoul · Answer

It depends on your priorities. Are you going to play all day or pay attention to your family/work. If you play it casually with time that you know you are free then I wouldn't consider it immature.

MandyRuth · Answer

Not exactly immature, but perhaps not the best use of time, for any age. Its like anything else; its good in moderation.

ayylamo · Answer

If video games are immature then so are movies, fiction books, and art.

Groisu · Answer

Yeah it's totally immature along with sitting on the internet criticizing something you have no involvement in and couldn't possibly understand without trying for yourself go find a game to play then come back and give an opinion about it

NewToThis83 · Answer

I don’t game at all but I don’t find it immature. It’s a hobby.

Kitten967 · Answer

Nope. I think its a fun pass time and hobby. Me and my fiance both love gaming.

AynonOMouse · Answer

Let me guess, you think sitting there on your phone for hours is just fine though? lol Or getting drunk and other stuff.

Pinay_ako · Answer

It is a form of entertainment. We are all child at heart.

DiscoBluffCloth · Answer

Any girl that wines about a guy playing videogames is full of shit. Girls spend all day long on their phones, it's the same thing

Boris88 · Answer

I work 15 years in game industry and I've seen all ages playing games even grandmoms. Everyone needs a break from reality and to get entertained.

DrakeIV · Answer

It's a fun hobby, it's appreciating art. It can be a fun thing to do with friends or partners.

MadeInAmerica · Answer

I don't think it's bad. No different then watching a few movies or tv shows

keegan12321 · Answer

Not in and of itself. Gaming is great in moderation. It can relaxing. It can be fun. But doing it daily for hours is definitely immature

Anonymous · Answer

No. Depends on people because it can be counted as a hobby. If gaming is an immature thing, then looking at SNS or website without any purposes are also immature things I think.

princess_jenna · Answer

I think it depends on how much you do it and how much of a priority it is

cookie_monster007 · Answer

Along with the 90%of the people I say that you are wrong. I am a gamer myself and gaming never should be considered immature. You can make a living out of gaming as shown by PewDiePie, Markiplier and many other youtubers. People may have their own opinions but for me, It is not an immature thing.

Brolav · Answer

When you have other responsibilities then it is immature but otherwise why whould it be? Gaming is an excellent way to train your brain to think fast. And a good way to relax.
