What if those games are the only games they and their friends play together? I wouldnt want to stop that.
When your grandkids ask you what you did with your finite time, is "I pwned noobs" the answer you want to give?
Sure, let me just quickly hop on a plane to australia to meet with some. I assume youre paying?

Yes? What kind of question is that? Youre just gonna start talking about the value you created for shareholders or your business?
The question is what value are video games. The answer seems to be "not much".
They look much more like addictive distractions than anything valuable.
Feel free to list out all of your hobbies and what you do in your free time and we will all critique it for you.
Ultimately, everyone spends their time on what they enjoy; there's no award when you die for doing more x than y while you were alive.
I enjoy playing games, gardening, and riding motorcycles. My cousin enjoys socializing at bars, playing games, and doing woodwork.
Is one of our hobby sets more legitimate than the other's?
How are video games a hobby? Is playing slot machines also a hobby?
What's the difference between video games and slot machines? They look real similar to me.
As others have said, why don't you list out your hobbies (as I did mine), so we can understand exactly what recreational activities you think constitute "valid" hobbies? That will also make it easier for me to explain the difference between video games and slot machines to you.

Video games don't even appear to be productive of good discussion.
Why are you trying so hard to "prove" that someone's hobby is a waste of time?
That's the question. What is the reason?
People also play slot machines. Are slot machines fulfilling?
You are being ridiculous. First, unless the person was a professional gamer they would probably answer with the time they spend at work and time time they spend raising their family. But let's assume the grandkids specifically asked what they did for entertainment.
The answer would then be something like "I got together with my friends and we played the popular online games together". They would probably also mention any other things they did a lot of entertainment, too.
I don't want kernel level anti-cheat, though. All the games with it have cheaters anyway.
