Started gaming since I was 6.

Currently 25, will be 26 soon.
I don't see myself quitting ever, really. It's too popular now. That's like saying you'll quit movies or TV.

>>
about 2 or 3 playing games with my dad

probably never though the last 5 years i've been getting bored of games i still play them to pass the time
>>
Since I was 2, in 1985. I'll probably play games until I die, or at least until retirement age since my profession is also in video games, and I enjoy collecting a paycheck.

i've played videogames my whole life as cliche that might sound, had an atari, then a c64, then an amiga and so on

as for the other question, my taste have heavily misaligned with the current market so i still play videogames but i haven't touched a console,handheld or AAA title in quite a while, i'll quit when things get worse but i'm not sure how worse they can do, the industry is surprising like that
>>
>>340327579
Probably around 5-6 when I started using our home Macintosh, playng Baby Labyrinth and KidPix, and Lemmings. Still playing games on PC and pokemon games on 3DS, will probably play until I get kids, maybe until ~35.
>>
Megaman 2 when I was four years old at a cousin's house.

However long I live unless I get some debilitating condition that prevents me from doing it.

Started at 6. First game was Guerrilla War on NES thanks to my uncle.

Gonna turn 29 in a few months.
I don't think I'll ever quit, vidya its just too fun and we are still getting good games here and there, so I'm always expecting something new and wanting to play that.

I'm not sure. I remember playing games as far back as my memory goes so probably like four or five years old.

If I do ever quit, which I somewhat doubt I will, it'll probably when I'm in my late 20s early 30s. By then I'll be deep into my career and may not have time for vidya, or at least not enough time for it to be considered my main hobby. Especially since my favorite genre are RPGs which are known for being time sinks. But seeing as how I have very few other hobbies that even get close to vidya outside of maybe listening to music I doubt I'll ever outright stop.

Maybe if Persona 5 turns out to be shit. If that game comes out and is anything less than an 8/10 I'm gonna have to question my interest in this hobby.

>>340327579
I was five when I started

I'm thrirty two now...

I started far before I can remember starting. As for when I quit, I won't ever. I could enjoy the classics alone the rest of my life, regardless as to what innovations come to be in the future.

This world isn't interesting enough without them to keep me entertained.
>>
8? 9? 10?

If I had to guess, I'd say I'll play vidya until I die, but I guess you never know.

>>
>>340327579
Started 6. 27 now.
Old habits die hard I guess.

I'll stop when games I like stop getting made.
>>
Apparently my dad let me "play" NES when I was 2, but I don't really remember that obviously.

I'm 25 now and I'm getting tired of games. I can only play for about an hour before I get really bored.

The exception being really clever puzzle games, Dark Souls, and Overwatch

I started playing at age 2.

first game was dark castle.

I will never quit, but i take month long breaks here and there, in cycles to do other things. I might work out for a few hard months, or party/ club in the summer, paint and build relationships in fall. etc.

born in 88

>>340327579
Technically I guess I started around two or three. My dad had go on this tank game for the N64 and I remember I used to be all over that shit even though I didn't understand what the fuck was going on around me.

As for quitting? Listen to >>340328749

There's still enough half-interesting upcoming releases and already released games to prevent going completely cold turkey.
