I don't look back with regret on any of my time spent reading. I think most people here know what I'm talking about. Why is that? Easy one. It's because this is how society teaches you to feel. You grew up in a world where schools tell you read anything you can get your hands on. They have book fairs, summer reading contests, entire libraries full of both nonfiction and fiction. It's drilled into your from an early age how valuable reading is. If society indoctrinated you to feel that way about video games, that's how you'd feel. There was a time when they only books considered worthwhile were nonfiction (and maybe the Bible). If a teacher caught you with a mystery or romance book, you'd be spanked in front of the class. In those days you'd feel guilty for spending an entire day reading Jane Eyre.
