This is why I've stopped buying new games. At 31 years old, I've realized that learning new things is more important than paying to entertain myself.

- dmitriid 9y agoI'm only going for indie games these days.
- metalliqaz 9y agoWait, which is it? When you say "this is why" it implies you stopped because of unbounded greed on the part of large gaming publishers. However, then you explain it as growing out of gaming and a shift in your interests to learning. Also, in my opinion, learning and entertainment don't have to be mutually exclusive. You sound like an I-don't-watch-TV snob right now, to be honest.
- eduren 9y agoAgree. As much as I love HN, I think it suffers from too much snobbery at times... Which is why I've decided recently (since turning 27 and a half) to transition away from online forums and focus on building pen-pal relationships with fellow hackers through physical mail. Really makes me feel like I'm improving myself
