I understood what you meant. More importantly, you are wrong. Games are a net benefit to society. Without a doubt.
Fun is good for you. So is escapism. It is when you allow them to control your life that they become a negative. This only happens with a minority of people. Most of us are doing just fine.
If you do not have some sort of healthy release then you are an extremist ready to pop. You are one bad day from losing control and being a massive net negative to society.
And to be clear, I don't care what you're 'telling' me. No one does. The fact is, people like you, sooner or later, aren't content to live their own lives and just live and let live. I'm old enough to remember when the freedom killing extremists were on the right. The anti-vice squad. Once the right wing extremists were defanged, the same personality type started to appear on the left.
Do you even doubt that if someone gave you any type of control over others that you would dictate how they spend their free time just like people are now doing on the left? I don't. You are the flip side of the same coin.
Playing games is good for your brain. Playing workout VR games is GREAT for your body. Doing too much of anything is bad for you, but it's your business.
If you were happy and living a balanced life, this wouldn't need to be explained.
democrats aren’t liberal. This is a lie. They took this label because they couldn’t market socialism due to the Cold War. It’s democrats that try control people.
my conservative values are second to my liberal and libertarian values based on the fundamental precept of sanctity of each individual as described in the bible.
The individual must be free to his own choices.
What does that mean? If I was in power - no - I would never control what activities you personally are engaged with if they don’t hard others. But yes the companies might have to put warning signs on their products like cigarettes have - and possibly some awareness campaigns just like we have importance of exercise awareness campaigns.
Allowing these companies to freely enslave our youths with no alternatives and education to better recreational activities that have value... is where the problem lies.
And no - gamers who sit on their ass - don’t take part in school sports and become hermits is not good.
When I grew up sport was compulsory for kids. I got home every day at 6:30 pm after all my sport every day. My Saturday was also rugby game day.
It teaches - order -structure discipline - time management.
These days they go home to get lost in games and being brainwashed by these companies on top of it.
Cigarettes don’t need labels Mrs Nanny Stater, or should I use the term ‘Karen’ now that it’s 2020. Do my tax dollars have to pay for your ‘awareness campaigns’? Probably. Also, take your liberal, libertarian, and conservative bullshit and shove it all up your ass so that the stick and your head can have some company.
The problem is people wanting to control other people through collectivism. They decide what is good and bad and decide to make the rules that controls others. First it starts with little public financed information campaigns and then it ends with Draconian laws.
When I was growing up people used their Bible as an excuse to control others. Seems they figured out the very mind of their Creator by reading an English translation of some ancient script that had been passed down for generations through the art of story telling before said stories were written down.
An amazing accomplishment to be sure. As the old saying goes, some people worship themselves in God.
Now we have something much worse, Godless commies have gotten control of the levers of power. They will destroy everything that is decent in their deviant and decadent ascension to power. We will prevail, it will not be easy, but know this -
The moment that battle has ended, we will be up against these poor miserable bastards again.
Though I’m sure that this fine individual in their massive wisdom may allow cripple kids to play video games. Since it is an area that they, and the not so physically gifted, have a chance to shine in team based sports. As long as they listen to his warning that this esteem boosting experience is a great evil to his perception of what is mankind.
Gaming is healthy. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Very, very dull.
Also, I don't game. Have three kids, no time. We do have a lot of fun together though.
As someone pointed out to you before, enjoying life is not wasting life, it's the very definition of living. Just because you're soulless and miserable, don't bring the rest of us down to your level.

Dude - you’re raging out like the left - gaming is good!!!!!!!
Check your bullshit propaganda at the door. And understand gaming is wasting your life.
Show me on the doll where gaming touched you.
