Just ended my 3 month break. Brought back by Firewatch, though it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Sticking around for TWD: Michonne, then maybe circle back and play Until Dawn at some point.
 
Lil' late to the party... Been abstaining from gaming for at least 3 months when I was writing a thesis. Now with everything done, I'm trying to get back to actually playing.

Nice to know. Would recommend a new game called Superhot to get back. It's an extremely well-polished puzzle shooter that constantly iterates on its key gimmick: Time moves only when you move.

I'd say a few months. I either didn't feel like getting into another game or got busy with other projects.
 
Several months in intervals. I took about a two month break in November. The last three years have been a noticeable decline. The last time I put a good amount of time in a game was Bloodborne.
 
A year or so. This is when my Xbox's RROD, dual core PC rig's fried, and my PS3's YLOD on me at the same time frame. The bad part is that it occurred when I just graduated from college and it was during the recession (2008 aka real estate crisis) so I couldn't afford to get them fixed.

What did you do to f*** your karma up so much? Were you the one that killed Mother Teresa?
 
Hardly played anything in a few transition years in between PS2 and 360.
 
You guys must have lives. Anything more than a one month break and my anxiety would go through the roof. There's too many games that i'd feel like i'd be missing out on. I already have a backlog that spans multiple generations.
