Have you ever tried quitting gaming?

Few times , but i dont really see quiting gaming for good as an option .

Gaming is 1 of the few ways to entertain myself ... so i might quit a game or 2 ... but not gaming itself :)

Altho i've limited myself cause of reasons ... to few hours couple of times a week .

so thats a start !

no it quite a natural thing nowadays i barely find games to play and a have almost 300 on steam and +100 on uplay/origin/battlenet/xbox

Edit: not even 18 and i am tired of this :(

Gaming to me is simply a hobby. It ebs and flows with my moods and interests at any given time. These days I look forward to a game "calling me" to play it. That is such a rare feeling for me to have much anymore.

I hear ya. When I was at uni I managed about 2-3 years of gaming, only a couple of hours a week. didnt really miss it.
Now a few years later, I run my own business & I wanna get back into doing some illustration, and find it hard to do as I just wanna chill out and play some games in my free time

if I quit gaming, then anime is my only hobby left :(

no

Gaming in general, no. I did manage to finally quit playing WoW though, which I've wasted way too much time on.

I've been traveling for an entire year with just my smartphone, so technically I quitted gaming yes, started gaming when I came back home again though...

So I spend a bit on games and being part of the master race. Gaming takes out mass amounts of time though which is good. While waiting on computer parts for an extended period I went out and about and in doing so spent and F ton of money. Gaming cheaper and has me doing less stupid things in public.

I laughed.

nope

I almost managed to quit a few years back.... and then, I made a gaming PC. Into the big, black pit I went into again =.='

Depends how you want to word it. I've never thought to myself "I'm going to quit" but there's been times when I've gone months or even a year without playing any games at all. It just happens naturally when I find something else I'd rather be doing.

I tried to but...
I fell on the darkside again !!

I don't think i have ever consider quitting gaming. It's the only activity i have where i can do any thing i want without responsibilities. Games are the only media that i know that gives control of a situation to me and tells me to do what i want. If i "fail" i can try as much as i want until i have the skill to go through.
As medical student, during exams i decrease my gaming because i need that time to sleep,eat and study but i have never ever consider quitting.

Why quit? It is fun and doesn't harm anyone. But as with most good things in life it should not be overdone. If you loose sleep, friends and family because of it then it is not good. Likewise why quit alcohol?. That is also best in moderate amounts.

I don't see a need to quit. Everyone wishes they could use all there time on productive stuff, but in truth, everyone needs some time to relax. As long as we live a balanced lifestyle and get the stuff we need done, then there is no problem gaming.
It is just a regular hobby like anything else we like to do when we are relaxing. Besides, I'd feel bad letting all the games in my backlog just go to waste.

When I was really young, and dumb...didn't last long, gaming is my life.

No
never will

i dont think i've ever tried to quit...lol...they're a huge part of my life :P

though i have tried to limit them due to exams...most of the time, i haven't been successful, which is a huge concern :(

Quitting? Not really. But sometimes I have weeks, or even months when I just don't want to play video games. Then I return for some time, then get bored of them again, and so on.

Χάρακα you can do both at the same time, be productive and gamer at the same time with xaraka(meter) :)

Voted yes, i had this though but for a single game like wow.
For gaming, asked myself why to force quit something that its part of my life.

Tried? Yes!
Succeeded? No!
