I generally don't play games with someone else in the room because it feels a bit rude. I don't tend to hang out with people that want to watch someone else play a game. Is that an age thing?

I might use VR when someone else is in the house however. That's different.

Depends on why someone is in the room, right?

Having friends over, ignoring them and playing a game sounds rude, unless they are into it. But even then, it would be more polite to let the guests play and the host watch.

Sharing a flat with a roommate and playing a game while they do their own thing in the same room is certainly not rude.
