For as long as I can remember, I’ve always heard people tell me that one day I’ll grow out of video games because they’re for children and I’ll find more productive things to do with my time. The last time I checked, I’ve entered into what many would consider adulthood. Therefore, I think it’s high time I explore why this sentiment doesn't actually hold any weight.
