If you can't play video games with your friend/coworkers from times to times, then your life suck, kids or not.

Or you have different interests. Perhaps you don't expect to be friends with coworkers - so long as folks get along well at the office, that's enough. Perhaps you would rather have the compartmentalism. Perhaps you'd rather play at home while not wearing pants. Perhaps you'd rather spend time with a loved one, your children, and the couple of friends that you've had for years.

Perhaps you are an introvert and really need the downtime. Perhaps you are an artist and enjoy that instead. Maybe you play an instrument and get an hour of practice most days. Maybe you like theater or a good dinner in lue of a few hours of video games.

Not playing games after work isn't an indicator of someone's life sucking. It just means they have different interests or priorities in life that don't match up to spending a few hours at work playing games.

I'm not a gamer.
Well I'd say it depends what kind of game you guys have. If it's COD like in some of the comments I can understand. But in my office we mostly play goofy party game, I sometimes invite my gf over to play with us and she manages to have fun while not being a gamer as well. Here's a list I made:

So far we've really enjoyed:

* speedrunners

* towerfall

* blazerush

fun:

* lovers in a dangerous spacetime

* overcooked

* miner warfare

* clusterpuck 99 (sucks if you're not > 4)

* hidden in plain sight

* Magicka

that were fun, but got boring fast:

* duck game

* CMYW

* trine 2

* starwhal

* Nidhogg

* Porcunipine

Meh:

* Castle Crashers

* Mount your friends

* Gangbeast

* Hammerwatch

* Screencheat

* ibb & obb
