Heatman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Personally, I would say that it's very important to find the right balance between how much you're spending on games and how much time you're investing in it that matters most. One of my watch words have always been that too much of everything is bad. It's why I don't go overboard with how much I invest in playing video games today. How do you see yourself with how much time and money you're investing in video games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I only ever invest significantly time and money into games I intend to send time with as there aren't enough hours in the day to dedicate it all to gaming. Having priorities will save people a lot headaches down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowHammerYou Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Not anymore. I think I only bought 3-4 new games last year, and I still don't have a 9th-gen console yet. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I don't know. If we aren't spending time and money on games, we would spend time and money on something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of quite a bit of people that spend close to a $100 US a month at Starbucks when they could just make coffee at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Nope, I don’t and never did. What I even spend on games is nothing compared to other activities. And I don’t consider wholesome activities I enjoy doing as a waste of time. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I know how to manage my time effectively so that ensures I don't spend too much time on gaming while ignoring other parts of my life.

Knight Barida Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I don't consider myself wasting too much resources or time. To be honest with you, playing games was always fun when I looked at how good it is in terms of being happy. I go to work daily and never focus all my energies on playing games.

Ravenfreak Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Nope I don't consider it a waste of time or money on games. To me it's a fun hobby and my favorite way to escape from the real world from time to time. I already accumulated lots of games from my childhood, and most of the games I get these days are from a retro game treasure subscription which I pay $40 monthly for. I think it's worth it though, especially if you like to collect and play retro games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 To be honest, I only get a few games a year now, if that. It's my DVD collection that my cash always goes to these days. 🤗 HowHammerYou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I am not addicted, I will definitely be happy about playing such games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I used to feel like this when I was spending a lot of time playing video games either online or single-player video games. Since changing my line or work, I have not had as much time to play video games like I was doing, sometimes only a few hours a week and I will admit, I do miss it. Due to the lack of time I have to play video games, I tend to spend less now on video games too. I don't understand why I felt like I was wasting too much time though as it is a hobby of mine and I enjoyed it, maybe it was more a feeling of guilt?

This makes me remember a quote: If it’s wholesome and it makes you happy, then it’s not a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have managed to keep it tight and short on your gaming budget if you haven't spent money on buying 9th-gen console till now. You're better than most people.

Yarik Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I wouldn't say that I waste too much time and money on games. Actually, I don't waste any on gaming. I don't see it that way. Playing video games is one of my ways to spend my free time, a way to relax and have fun. It's a hobby. So, no, I don't waste time and money on it. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
