Being unemployed sucks. It's a horrible situation. While there are, of course, some slackers out there, it's almost always involuntary. (As can be clearly seen from the job statistics out there: The reason we have 10% unemployment in the US right now is because there aren't enough jobs. Telling the unemployed to "just get a job" is as productive as telling a sick man to "just get better".)
If someone who can't find a job chooses to pass some of their time playing video games, who am I to complain? If it makes their life a bit better, then I'm all for it.
