While I absolutely get your point about addictiveness (indeed many games are designed to be addictive) I've always found it odd when people complain that time spent gaming is "wasted" moreso than other hobbies. I don't think I've ever looked at someone who makes model train sets and thought "now there's an accomplishment!" I've never heard about someone buying a stamp and went "well, I bet their parents are proud!" Both of those are perfectly fine hobbies, and I bet people interested in them absolutely have skills and accomplishments they're proud of. And that's fine. I may not get the hobbies, but I'm certainly not going to judge the value of how they spend their spare time. That's for them to determine if they're happy with. And I'll worry about my spare time.
