My gaming has declined to zero, and my time watching TV has increased greatly. TV is much easier to make into a shared experience than video games. You can also find informative non-fiction TV, while nearly all games are fiction with relatively simple plots.
I think this article cherrypicks and makes all kinds of wild extrapolations to get to the unwarranted conclusion that gaming will "take over." The most glaring in my mind it doesn't address the kinds of lifestyle changes that happen as people age, that are extremely relevant to the overall uptake of media like video games.
- sethammons 7y agoI agree mostly with Seenso. I can watch national geographic with the family easily, or watch some trash tv. My tv time is also lower, but it is easier to prioritize that over getting a multiplayer game going that we can all co-op on.
