Is this a void in their life that really needs filling?
I don’t think so. My husband is a scientist and he works pretty hard - he’s in the lab A LOT. My son plays soccer and that occupies a nice chunk of his time. They do this for fun, and they love doing it together - which I consider a big win.
What else do you suggest they do?

Do they make games that I, a woman, would like? Where I can sleep with random hot men and can viciously harm men who are a$$holes/misogynists? And ride horses and have lots of pet animals and kill anyone who harms them?
I cannot understand why it is fun to kill animals and innocent people in video games.

I'm married to a man who loves video games. 99% of the time, his games don't interfere with him being a loving spouse, involved parent, division of labor partner, etc.
I don't worry about what or how he plays games. It's all fantasy. Just like I don't worry when we watch Breaking Bad or a similar show, I don't worry he's going to turn into a psycho. Jfc, people have the right to let loose sometimes!

If you're spending 100+ hours on it, you need to include the opportunity cost of all the things you're not doing.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:I don’t get it.

On a dollar per hour basis, video games by far and away are the most economical form of entertainment, period. You can buy RDR2 for $30 and get over 100+ hours out of it. Where else do you get that kind of return?
Let's be honest, it's always more fun to play the bad guy than be the the good guy, plain white bread character. Causing mayhem in the virtual world is fun. No one wants to be the cops in Grand Theft Auto. They want to be the drug dealer, mafioso, and gangster.

Don’t know one woman whose spouse plays video games.
You must not know a lot of people below the age of 50 then. RDR2 cost over $500M to make and grossed over $725M in 2 weeks. The game has sold almost 50M copies world wide. These are numbers greater than block buster movies. There literally millions of people well into adulthood who play RDR2.
That only underscores the idiot culture we live in.
You must be fun at parties between your discussions of Tale of Two Cities and Pride and Prejudice. I bet you do sentence diagrams and English grammar exercises for fun. So thrilling!

My wife did unspeakable things to her characters in the Sims. I knew she was a keeper!

I mean I’m more troubled by the fact that you have time to enumerate the different wildlife you killed here for us as if the presence or absence of elk was going to make a difference? Self awareness is clearly something you struggle with.
Do you have a high-paying job and do 59% (legit 50%) at home? If not, go do that. Then play video games. I promise your wife will no longer care.

Because you can. That's why you do it. It's pure fantasy and guilty pleasure. Just being a good guy and following the story line is boring.
You're just realizing now that your kids and spouses are playing games like this? They've been around since like 1999 where you can do this kind of stuff.
