I'm actually rather annoyed with Game Troopers and their decision to put the timer in the game with the pay to remove micro-transaction. If things like this become the norm for them, I may stop downloading their games altogether. Yes, its a free game; I get that. Micro-transactions are likely here to stay; I get that, too. But to put in a "feature" that actively blocks my ability to play the game (or in this case, simply slow it down) and then expect me to pay to remove it? That's just ludicrous!

Regarding Arsenic's question, I don't really see why some people feel the need to hide their gaming habits. I never have, everyone around me knows how much I play but there was this guy in the WoW raid group years ago who was one of our best tanks...unless someone walked into his dorm room, he'd just immediately close his laptop. Years ago, I had a girlfriend who wasn't a gamer and heard a lot of "Why do you waste so much time playing games?" from her, to which I always had to respond, "Why do you waste so much time watching TV?" I also swore I'd never date anyone else who wasn't a gamer after that. My current girlfriend (just over 6 years now) and I met playing WoW and still game together...not nearly as much as when I was still playing MMOs, but we wouldn't be together without gaming. As with most hobbies, if you feel the need to hide it from the people around you, you probably need different people around you.

I do understand why some people feel the need to hide their gaming habits, I feel like gaming as a form of entertainment has yet to be accepted as another form of leisure activity such as watching TV. I do feel that this wont be an issue forever considering how many people are now playing games whether they want to admit it or not. I myself have never really felt the need to hide my videogame habits, for one thing it would have been impossible to hide this habit from my wife considering that I own two shelves full of games at this point, lol. Similar to Kez's thoughts, if you have a hobby that you really enjoy than you need to stand behind that hobby regardless of what people may think of it, life is too short to change our appearance to the world around us out of feeling the need to fit into the "societal" norm.

I've never been one to hide my gaming habits I've always been surrounded by like minds. The content of the games I'd play wasn't hidden either, but I found myself through the years not necessarily hiding it, but just not disclosing it.

As I grew apart from childhood friends and into my later years I still had many friends that game but they may frown upon the amount of time played or what I was playing not understanding my passion to play. We've all had different experiences that mold us and my experiences as a young gamer have made the habit I have today. As I am sure it has with those friends, we all had shared interests but the weight I put on video games as opposed to some of our other shared hobbies like working on cars or sporting activities is different than theirs. These are my friends and I've never had to hide from them they actually are being corrupted by me and my xbox now but they'll never get to the point that I'm at that's why I love you guy and gals!

However as I said I don't openly disclose my gaming habits because I have in the past with co-workers or other peers in my community, even with some family and had to partake in a debate of time spent in video games vs time spent on Facebook or TV or at bars, the argument is always about being more productive but what's the point of arguing I play games all night and you don't so you are more valuable to society???? I'm exercising my brain I say! Some people can just be stubborn and just want to be right, and in my opinion I almost take the negative reactions to my gaming habits as jealousy because they don't have the time management skills to do the things they enjoy but I do. I still find the time to spend with my wife, starting a family, coaching youth sports year round for 10 years, work a full time job, and still make more time for all the odds and ends in the community. Even though all this is obvious to those I'm debating with I still find myself in a discussion that is pointless to me, obviously that person won't be co-op'ing with me so on to the next one!

Hahaha

I like both!

[HyruleBalverine]

Hahaha

I like both!

Same here. I'm lucky enough to be dating a woman that likes both, too. My ex wife wasn't a big fan of games, she didn't mind that I played, but she made it a point never to buy me games as gifts... ever. My current girl-friend even enjoys just sitting and watching me play, which still seems weird to me, because I am not used to that!
