The title 'aint as foreboding as you think.
But I'll use the following example; when younger, I remember being a regular visitor to certain websites and stuff, none in particular, but, sometimes they'd just cease with the updates after the webmaster said something like, "I'm heading into college now and won't have time for this it's been fun bye".
And these would be video game based sites, y'know, so it's along the lines of people grow up with added responsibilities to the point where they just don't have times for video games anymore. Or at worst, they just lose an interest in videogames altogether.
This scared me when I was younger. Video games always have been, and thankfully still are a huge part of my life. The concept of losing that as I grew up seemed really daunting. And now, here I am. And what of it?
I notice that indeed, what with studies and a part-time job and.. socialising I have nowhere near as much time as I'd like for gaming. Often I'll be playing something and think to myself "I could really be doing something else right now", and if I say for example die in New Super Mario Bros. Wii I'm just like "Well screw this then".
An interesting scenario now is that instead of playing video games, I usually end up painting them. Y'know, pixel art on canvas or whatever, because I think to myself that I'm using my love of gaming to do something productive which may actually get me somewhere. And, I listen to game OSTs during my study just so I can merge my enjoyment and responsibilities together, y'know? Oddly enough, I've recently found myself buying the OSTs of games I 'aint even played before.
And then there's the irony of being an 'adult' and having your own income to buy as many games as you want at long last, but it's always towards other necessities such as clothes and bills.
