Will it mess up my speakers over time? Do you guys play games without earphones?

Is letting the speakers reproduce sounds bad? No, that's what they're for. Whether it's music or games, it doesn't make any difference. Speakers reproduce sound - games, music, speech in any language that uses sound (it's a little difficult doing Braille or sigh language over a speaker). It doesn't matter what the sound is. (It matters how loud the sound is. If you have the volume turned up all the way, and the game isn't limiting the amount of sound it produces, it could blow the speakers. But that sound in earphones would blow the cilia in your inner ear, and that "repair" [implanting an artificial cochlea] is a lot more expensive than replacing the speaker on a phone - and you don't actually hear much - so it's much better to let the speakers blow and not destroy your hearing.)
