I'm playing the sims right now.
OP, you're fine. I'd do the same. Sounds like you need a sit-down with your wife to discuss some things.

My husband doesn’t play video games, I probably never would have started dating him if he did, but a bunch of his friends play fortnite while they talk on the phone with eachother. I can’t imagine they are all doing that kind of stuff!


My husband and son do it and laugh hysterically. It’s fun! Better than doing it in real life, I say.


Is this a void in their life that really needs filling?


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.


PP here. I was referring to the statement of better than them doing it in real life.
Basically my question was if they can’t kill the game would they have a need to do so in real life?

I think the analogy here would be a man finding his wife's cheesy paperback romance novels and being shocked that she's into hardcore porn.

Wait until you see Mortal Kombat and other games your kids and husbands are playing. Modern mortal Kombat games are not for the weak of stomach.


Good lord, you all sound like a bunch of Tipper Gores resurrected from 1996.

I cannot understand why it is fun to kill animals and innocent people in video games.


And I don’t understand why you don’t think it’s fun to shoot imaginary things.
If the computer generated images didn't react in any way, like shooting a rock, or throwing a rock onto train tracks, would it still be fun? I'm guessing not, and it's seeing the simulated pain that you enjoy. Again, you're a closet psycho


Well then count me among the zillion other psychos that enjoy it too!


This is not the slam dunk defense you think it is.

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!


Not surprising, a gamer mocking people who enjoy books.


I'm much more in the Pride and Prejudice camp, but to be fair, plenty of great books take us into the minds and experiences of disturbing people and lives.

So do online message boards

Simulated pain? They’re not rolling around in agony. At least in GTO they just go down.

“ Who's the jerk here? It's just a friggin' game.”

You like simulating horrific acts in a “game.”

She finds you disturbing.

There’s no “jerk.”

I’m a husband and dad. I find you disturbing too.
