I'm curious why you feel the need to "give up" video games.

We hate on "gamers" here but that doesn't mean playing games is bad. If you enjoy playing games there's no harm in that.

Like others have said, depression is a good way to stop playing games (I'd add anxiety as well). I wish I could have the mental energy to play games (and not have anxiety over playing them "right").

But obviously if playing games is negatively impacting you in some way that's understandable.
