Eh, it depends. Every hobby has its benefits and its drawbacks. I learned a ton of English, strategy, stress management, shortcut keys, programming and whatnot from games. Some games also took a lot of my sanity, sleep, relationships with living beings, etc. :) Don't feel bad enjoying a hobby. The universe is your playground.
