I've been gaming my whole life though it's only been in recent years that I could consider gaming a passion rather than a hobby.
In these recent year my love of gaming has risen exponentially which is annoying considering I don't have the money to purchase new games. That being said, gaming is also fast becoming a guilty pleasure for me. I consider myself an honourable man (Hubris? never heard of it) so I hate getting excited for or purchasing any game that has such an anti-consumer business behind it, and unfortunately these games are becoming the rule, not the exception. I want to enjoy games, for their trailers to the final product but it's becoming more effort than it's worth. Heck, I can't even talk about how much I love (for the most part) the Assassin's Creed series without following it up with a justification of it's more questionable traits, I couldn't even type this sentence without that little disclaimer before.
