Ah, exactly same experience.

I clearly remember some of my friends stating "I don't want to be 30 an still be playing videogames"... As if it was a bad thing.

I thought it was weird at the time to make such statement.

Maybe they meant it like "don't want to ONLY be playing video games" as in they'd be fine with video games in moderation as long as they had a social life, career, money for vacation and travel, a good hobby, family...etc.
No, at the time it was definitely zero videogames intended. We were like 13 at having a partner and playing videogames were more or less mutually exclusive in our teenager's brain
