RE: Why I Quit Playing Video Games 20 Years Ago
When you play a game, you're playing the same game that everyone else playing it is playing. You're seeing all the same story line beginnings and endings that they are. To me, there was nothing unique about that.
You can say the same thing about books and movies so does that mean books and movies make you uncreative?
In a sense, you might be able to say that. I'm sure not all would agree with it.
Some people sit in bed all day watching movies. I wouldn't call that a spark of creativity.
I would call that consumption.
Also, please don't misundersand me. I didn't say "video games made me uncreative". This is a matter of time management. I felt that I needed to cater to my creative urges, rather than spend that time playing video games. In other words, it was an activity that I found would prevent me from following my own personal calling.
