This is probably my biggest gripe with that argument. So, so many people harp on kids and pretty much anyone playing a ton of video games. Then they just sit there and watch movies or the news or scroll social media for hours and hours but somehow that’s magically totally fine and different.
IMO it’s even worse. At least when playing a game you are using more of your brain. You train hand eye coordination. You can solve puzzles, train reflexes…
Watching movies or doomscrolling just does nothing.

Additionally depending on the game you may be getting social interaction that you are never going to get form your TV.
Whoch can be a positive as well as a negative. Some communities are toxic af.
