    I played them a lot until maybe 15...after that, my interest in video games waned quickly.

    At 23 I came to the realization that they were just a massive waste of time. It's basically a task designed to just waste time, which is something you don't have if you're an adult. I know a lot of people who really love videogames but to me I'd rather spend that time reading about something, or working on something around the house, or going out on errands or just going out with friends or family. I have a lot of friends my age and older who complain that I don't play games with them and it makes me feel ad, but I guess I just don't enjoy them anymore. I will spend and hour or two in a videogame and feel like I lost that time. I didn't get anything at the end, no big reward or prize for completing every achievement. Just time spent that could have been spent working on something that I could keep the results of for years or decades.

    Btw there are games which cater more towards adults though...these are called rated "M" games as opposed to rated "E" games. I seem to prefer the rated M ones actually.

    the game ratings system:

    You are never too old to play video games, video games are an art form.

    I don't think there is an age limit for that...better video games than passively watching news etc

    I don’t think there’s an age limit.
    I don’t really see it as a problem either: If that’s their way of relaxing after work than so be it.

    Excess of everything is bad. The last console I owned was a PS2, after that I lost interest. I liked 2D games but when they started with 3D and trying to simulate reality I chose reality.

    I suspect it's more related to my changing environment than to age, but I seemed to rapidly lose enjoyment after 26 (2012).

    Probably can't say I've "completely lost interest," because I do pay attention to whatever is in development, but haven't actually played anything for more than a matter of minutes since at least 2013.

    The main reason why I play videogames is because I don't have a family. If I had a woman and kids I would of dropped videogames without second thought. As many people have pointed out already, it's just a complete waste of time AND it was designed to be a waste of time. I'd genuinely much rather spend time educating and raising my children than playing games. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone

    Around the age of 20 I stopped having much interest.
