I honestly don’t see how the average working class adult find that time. I feel like gaming is a luxury for rich/middle-class teens.

    Yeah. Often when I talk to people who say they “don’t have time” I wonder where their time is going. Often to watching TV. Sometimes podcasts. Social media is a big time suck.

    But like if you have time to watch all of the office again this year, you had time to play video games.

    A friend of mine realized they were just losing hours a day to Instagram. Delete that, and you have time for better hobbies. Play a game. Read a book.

    Having children seems like a bigger factor. The only couple I know that has kids still has time. One spends it on DND, and other on TV and simple phone games.

      Depends on how much you wanna sleep every night.

      Do I have enough time if I wanna get 8 hours of sleep? No.
      Do I have enough time if I sleep 4 hours instead? Yes
      Do I game? No, because I tell myself I’m going to go to bed in just few minutes so I don’t have time to start a game, then I get sucked into whatever I’m doing and next thing I know it’s 3am and I still need to shower before bed.

      Yep I have a kid and run my own business which is very demanding. I’m always strapped for time and I still find a little bit for gaming here and there. I do have to select for low investment games like rocket league, indie games, etc. I wish I could play WoW all day but that’s a bridge too far.
