How long can you go without playing games?

It seems silly, because food and water are more important, but there are people that sometimes wonder how long they can go without playing games. Depending who you ask that can vary from one day to a year or even more than that. But the real question would be, do your really want to stop playing games for that long?


Why are games so important to some people?


Because some people really enjoy playing games, it's a way for some people to relax and for others it's a way of spending time with their friends. This is especially useful for people who have friends that live far from where they live, so thanks to games they can still spend time together doing fun things. Then there are games that are just good at playing games, so giving that up would be not to make use of a talent you have. I don't know about you but to me that seems like a waste. There are also people that earn a living playing games, wether that's with youtube videos, streaming or maybe gaming journalism. They need games in their life, but not just because it's for their job but also because they enjoy playing games. So why would you want to stop with something you like to do?


Can't stop, won't stop?


That sounds more like an addiction, which isn't uncommon in the world of games. I guess it's a bit different for everyone, because one person might call you an addict if you play games every day and then there are people that call you an addict if you can't go a week without games. I think most of us can go without playing games, but we just choose not to because we enjoy playing games way too much. Maybe that makes me sound like an addict but the thing is that playing games doesn't have to ruin your life, as long as you keep the amount of gaming to a minimum and not waste your entire day on playing games then you should be fine. Besides I wouldn't listen to people who never play games or even hate playing games, in their eyes you can hardly ever do anything right when it comes to playing games. As long as you're having fun and still keep a healthy life (both social and physical) next to your gaming hobby then you should be fine.

I don't think I've ever really tested that, but last year when I moved I didn't have any internet (for some time) so I didn't play games for over a month. It's not like that really stung or made me unhappy, I read a lot of books and watched some dvd's if I didn't feel like going outside. So it's not like my life is completely dominated by games. But I'll admit that I really do enjoy playing games and I wouldn't like to give that up. At the same time it's nice to know that I can live my life without them, it would be different but definitely not impossible. Can you live your life without playing games? Think about it, you might learn something about yourself.
