Answer:
Many people believe that playing video games is a waste of time because they are seen to be not as productive as work or studying to due to the following reasons:
- In most cases, you do not make money from playing video games
- In a lot of cases, you do not develop skills applicable to other areas of life from playing video games
- If you spend a lot of time playing video games, you miss out on doing other possibly more useful activities
- A lot of the most popular video games are not particularly educational
Of course, there are exceptions eg. educational games but above are a few examples.
