I'm not a big gamer, I don't shoot things, but I'm also not going to judge anyone either. If someone wants to game till they're 90, go for it; to each their own.

One is at least a real activity, not a simulation. That's why it gets higher value. If some guy learned how to race cars in real life he probably had a more interesting life experience than a guy who spent hours playing Forza.
I like video games as much as anyone but there is certainly more value to real life experiences than simulations. It is something that dawns on you the older you get. Its not about not liking video games.
