Would Your Life Be Better If You Quit Video Games?
Be honest with yourself. Physical shape, social life, studying, esc are the factors to consider.

video games arent really a problem, the thing is when it becomes an addiction.
-
Of course.

Directions unclear, Dick stuck in ps4

As of right now, I'd say yes. I've played video games for nearly a decade but I can't say for sure if I've benefitted from it although It's an incredible stress reliever for someone like me. A game like Destiny is perfect for me for reasons I'd rather not explain and I think the game and other games have made me a happier person. As for my physical health, school work, etc. I think video games have hurt in the past. Soon I plan on trying to make something of the game through something such as Twitch perhaps. I have plans to where eventually the answer to this question will be a no, but as of right now, it'll have to be a yes.

Don't view it as would my life be better if I quit video games, view it as would my life be better if I started x (working out, reading whatever)
-
This is a hard question. Yes i would be better to be free of an addicting activity and potentially get more sleep. But then I would have face more realities in my life that gaming helps me ignore and i would likely dive from one addiction to another.

Nope.

Getting to kill things every night makes me happy.

As an artist you can use gaming as "inspiration"
-
41% say it would be worse lmao
-
I may be slightly more active but I'd be much more tense. Gaming is my release.
-
Id rather spend my free time playing games than watch tv, doesnt have to ruin your life just learn time management.
-
No because I would just binge watch Netflix at least video games use my brain a little
-
Join the PUA community. It's way more fun and rewarding. And most of all. It's REAL.
-
I would definitely be spending more time with my family. Video games are the ultimate time waster, and of the devil.
-
Would it be better with less crybabies on forums?... yes
-
4 Replies4.0 GPA. I'm pretty fit. And my social life is great
-
Just the studying part. The one semester I kept my game packed in my car trunk I made the -blam!-ing Deans List lol
-
...Nah, i like my life
-
No. I'm already socially awkward so I wouldn't have any friends in the first place. It doesn't hinder my work at all. If video games were not a thing I would just be bored all the time.
-
I'm already in good shape, have a very active social life, and work my 40+ hours a week. Destiny (and videogames in general) are just one of those pleasant distractions I afford myself after the above priorities are completed. So to answer your question yes my life might improve if I find something more productive to fill that time with, but I'd probably just watch more tv.

Wait we have lives? [spoiler]Im just kidding [/spoiler]
-
Depends on how irresponsible you are with it. Im a physician, have a wonderful fiance, and a couple pups. Just have to balance.
-
Not really. I only play when friends are on, or I have nothing else to do. Real life comes first, always, regardless of the game. Its just a game at the end of it all. Means nothing! :)
