Video games can be

Educational
Lemonade Stand was made in 1973 and was one of the OG educational games. The game teaches it's players real life skills that they will need in a job someday.
Age of Empires and Civilization does something similar to Lemonade Stand but instead of running a business, the player is running a government.

People who play video games daily vs People who don't

People the age of 14-21 say that friendship is necessary part of playing video games.

Raise your hand

If you like to play video games or play them on a daily basis
Raise your hand if you like to play video game or if you play them on a daily bases. Everyone that just raised their hand now has a disorder. Researches are starting to become persuaded that a bad habit called ¨Video Game Addiction¨ Is now becoming something bigger. A disorder. Gaming disorder.

Quote by Benedict Carey

(づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ
¨A bad habit may be bad. But at least fixing it doesn’t involve brain scans, antidepressant pills or clinging for dear life to some cantering Cheyenne or Misty.

The digital horses are a lot safer to ride, after all. And you get to carry a sword.¨
