I don't agree with you on this one. Being a Pakistani myself and an avid gamer. I think gaming has had a very positive effect on my life and my career. It doesn't matter which part of the world or class you belong to. Sumail is himself an example of that for you, I am pretty sure he belongs to a middle class Pakistani family himself, so do I. Game dev and console manufacturing is entirely non-related here too. I think you and your US cousins live a different life because you yourself avoided the things that were common between you.

You missed his point: > As a Pakistani myself, I don't find it charming, because back in home it means nothing, playing games with such devotion only would lead one jobless or burden on the family For most individuals, this is not a valid or even possible career path. Attempting such would create such a burdne.

  That's hardly limited to Pakistan. I live in the US, and my family was middle class growing up. If I had focused on gaming to the extent that Sumail or another professional gamer had, it is doubtful I would be able to make enough of a living to support myself even at a very basic level, much less have a solid career.
