36-year-old gamer confronts older friend after they claim he's ‘too old to play video games’, leading him to defend his favorite hobby: ‘I’m not gonna stop playing video games’

I never understood the criticism over adults playing video games and the weird claim that video games are only for kids. It makes absolutely no sense.

As the clever guy in the story below claimed, what is the big difference between someone spending their free time binge-watching TV shows and someone playing video games? The only difference is that video games are interactive, and watching TV is passive.

Personally, I even love watching video games as if they were actually movies, because some plots are so beautiful, and I don't particularly enjoy playing myself. I have sat alongside my husband for hours and watched him play through countless games because I loved the plot (God of War, man, what a game…). Who gives anyone the right to judge me for that?

Anytime a gamer mentions standing up to those who think they have the right to judge others for their hobbies, no matter their age, an angel gets its wings, and the story below is the perfect example of that.
