It still reamins to be seen if universal basic income would make videogames the most common daytime activity among adults. The reason ubi experiments in India shows good results, may be that video games are unavailable in the Indian countryside. It also may be that small villages in India has strong communities. Communities with strong social control, that won’t allow it’s inhabitants that receive ubi to spend it all on alcohol. In the western world, there is much less social control. Still it reamins to be seen if peope receiving ubi, will choose to find meaning in video games, flipping burgers or do something good for themselves or the community.
