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.

    if you don’t have kids, you should have plenty of time for video games.

    If you do have kids that can become harder to justify.

      Until the kids grow up a bit and then it can be bonding time. My kids are in early teens now and we have been playing video games together for years now

      Where would I ever get time for that? I don’t have kids but I’m genuinely curious. In-between chores, upskilling and work and S.O., I have absolutely zero time to just sit down and game, and even when I do, I have no energy.

        I had kids a couple of years ago.

        Before having kids I didn’t really have time for “gaming”, but I did lounge around watching TV for a few hours before sleep.

        Now with kids it’s pretty much the same dynamic, but that few hours down time is interspersed with tending to the kidlets.
