Hey Michael, you are not alone in this! I dont`t really want to quit gaming alltogether but still experience it with friends or by myself if it is a nice storygame, too. Just wanted to let you know that I feel this way, too. Best of luck to you! (don't really have any suggestions, just joined this forum literally an hour ago..)

Hello! I am M., I am currently working through Respawn and this is my attempt at finally quitting most Video Games. I am 26 years old und gaming has been a major part of my life for about 20 years. This was all fun and games until I was around 12-13 years old and started playing online games, especially MMOs and competitive shooters. I want to leave most of this behind me now to have more time, strength and attention for real life: Learning a 3rd language, working out for the body i desire, reading, finding more friends (maybe even finding a partner? who knows..) , studying, finding a proper job and whatever else I might set my mind to in the future. There are 2 exceptions though I would like to make: The first is I still want to play Overwatch: I have been playing this game with a friend of mine (and only with her, not alone) and we are having a blast. I am afraid of losing a part of my connection to her if i stop playing overwatch, too. Overwatch doesn't seem to have the same power over me as other stuff. I exclusively play it with my friend. The second is I still want to play games on the Switch. Mostly offline and story games. They don't give me the urge to log in every day in order to compete with random strangers online and to this day they create awesome memories for me. Plus they help cope with bad days of course 😛 Does anyone else have experience with quitting only certain types of games? I am kinda afraid of half-assing my attempt at quitting and just finding excuses... I'd love to hear your opinions! Big thanks to Cam for writing Respawn and creating this platform. I wish everyone who reads this the best of luck and health!
