I've thought about quitting certain games (That I feel have more of a negative impact than gaming in general does on me), such as League of Legends. And I have indeed taken several months off at a time before.
But never have I thought about completely giving up gaming entirely. I don't see it as being a bad part of my life. I absolutely love to play games, but (unlike how I used to be), I know when something takes priority over gaming. Right now, for example, I'm going to school full time, and working about 40 hours per week. Knowing I needed to study (and occupying my pre-sleep time with Netflix) meant I only played a couple hours last week. This coming spring I'm going to have an internship where I will be working 55+ hours per week. That leaves Saturday evenings and Sundays open...odds are I will be doing stuff with friends a bunch of those days, so I may hardly play at all for several months.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
