you don't get better at real life the more you play it

  Playing football for 1000 hours doesn't make you better at any other job (i.e real life). Don't be so close-minded; playing games is not different from any other activity.

    only because the jobs of our time are fake. Playing football or lacrosse is more "real" than working a desk job. For thousands of years, humans had to hunt and make tools and relied on their wits and strength to survive. Survival in the modern day is mostly a question of obedience. I think the purpose of exploring virtual worlds like quake or counter-strike or something should not be to escape the real world but rather to experience a new kind of physicality. The purpose of playing games should be to engage in a deeper world which is more "real" than the tame one we are ordinarily subjected to. It's why I am not opposed to video games. I opposed to overplaying video games because you ruin them, they become mundane and predictable.

      It's not "more real" or "more useful" just because our ancient ancestors had to do it.
