Outgrowing Video Games?

A lack of time or a lack of interest? Maybe they have families or ulterior things keeping them without a controller in-hand. Other-wise, there is no reason to really "out-grow" video-games anymore than there is a reason to "out-grow" movies or "out-grow" music.
If you don't like the content that you are playing, chances are, there's a million-and-one different video-games to choose from. There's ones like Dead Space that focus on horror-elements, Heavy Rain which focuses on the interactive movie-experience, more mind-numbing offerings like Call of Duty and Battlefield, and a lot of really well inspired games like The Last of Us that provide a lot with their experience.

I agree with Nicholas that people's lives change. They gain new responsibilities, they have traumatic life experiences that take away from their game time. They lose interest in the games being released or were never big fans of gaming in the first place and could easily dump it. I can honestly say I will probably never lose my interest in gaming, mainly because my taste is broad and I will play lots of games.
I disagree. I always have time for video gaming either on console or PC. Gaming is passion for me.
I have never outgrown video games in general. As a male I think video games are fun no matter what the age and something that I want to put my time into. I will never stop playing them completely I doubt. That said, I will probably change the games I play... such as not wanting to play such fast paced games or games that are considered childlike.
It's not that I've outgrown it, it's just that I don't have the time to play all that often. During the day I'm at school and I work 4 nights a week. I really only play one game and that's guild wars 2. No subscription fee and at least some social contact.
So yeah, I don't think people really outgrow video games. I think people get too preoccupied with other parts of their life to really be immersed into a game.

I wouldn't say I've outgrown video games, but I'm perhaps a bit less interested in them because I've discovered other activities that I enjoy or that I have to do that compete for my time. If I was given 100 years to spend playing video games, I think I could easily spend all that time without getting bored. Unfortunately, I don't have that time.
I wouldn't say i've outgrown video games as I still enjoy playing them when I get chance to that is. Life situations change. I'm lucky if I can get an hour or two a week to play games these days, which I imagine is the same for a lot of people.
I think I am starting to outgrow games,
I simply cant play for hours and hours anymore, sure I have the odd time where I will sit down and have a decent session on a game, but then I will go weeks without playing it again.
I still have enough time to game if I wanted to but nothing really grabs my attention in the gaming market, which I am gutted about, I hope something does grab my attention soon, otherwise I cant call myself a gamer anymore xD

I still love video games, but I'm not attached to them like I used to be. I've found other hobbies to partake in lately. Also, with school and helping out my dad, I don't get as much time to game these days.
