I understand why people hate Meta. However, video games are more akin to movies nowadays. They're less "games" and more "narrative experiences". It's like comparing kids movies to movies that are rated R, they're very different things. Just my two cents
By and large, video games have made children fat, lazy and shut out from important real world experiences. Playing a video game for an hour or so once in a while it's not damaging, but dedicating day after day of 6 to 8 hours of gaming experience is harmful.
You're talking about addiction then, not the average video game player. I agree, some people get addicted to video games, just like some people get addicted to being online. But it is not "by and large" at all. Most video game players are not addicts, they play casually (like with any other form of media). It's a way to decompress at the end of the day
It's for you, it's not for me. Say what you want, but video games have changed the way children develop, the way they exercise, and the things they experience.
I know, I’m just saying that that’s an outdated 1970s stereotype of what video games are. You might as well be yelling at kids to “stop playing on your lawn” if you think the world is still like that.
Problem is your labeling and disparaging an entire industry and its user base off the minority of cases. Of course playing video games in excess of 6+ hours daily is bad! So is any consumption of entertainment!
It's why I said before about balancing out one's activities, but you either didn't understand what I said, ignored it, or jumped the shark ready to attack anyone who defended video games.
Those here who have been supportive of video game have attempted to be civil with you. You're the one getting aggressive and calling others stupid and names.
Maybe video games aren't the problem here with societal issues. Perhaps people like you are the ones that help perpetuate it.

Step back. Breathe. Take a break.
