How much!

[quote user="SlaughterMcKill"]

OP's question is rather subjective, but I'd say someone has definitively been gaming too much when they've effectively rejected the living world in exchange for an artificial world or series of artificial worlds. In other words, they "live to game."

Pretty much what I said, except you put it much more straight to the point... Agreed.

"If all someone thinks about is playing games, that is a negative affect on life. If someone stops going out & living in the real world because of video games, that is negative".

.

I disagree if they don't mind and they're aware of the choice. That's also assuming that no-one else is losing something by their choices.

Just because someone makes a choice & doesn't mind the affects of that choice, doesn't mean it's not negative. But I guess it's point of view? Even if someone doesn't think of focusing all of his/her thoughts on video games or completely living in their
fantasy world as negative, it's still pretty sad.

When you go to work @ 6 in the morning, plan to play until 11 at night, and actually play until 5:30 in the morning.... you've played too much. [*yawn]

Too much is when it starts to have a negative impact on your life. Silly question really seeing as it varies so much between people.

I would love if the game industry made the next gen game prices 40$ because thats the most i pay for my games. If i know its a good game that gives me and intrest i will pay the full 60$.
