I'm married w/ 3 kids... have a master's... have a challenging job... and play games at most 5hrs a week.... Granted during my bachelors degree I didn't even own a gaming console and only played occasional PC games like Civilization.

I do agree that playing games daily for many hours as an adult is not a good idea. However, its no different than watching TV all day or sleeping all day. Its simply wasted time that could be better utilized if you have the need.

However, as a past-time entertainment option, like anything else, there are no issues. This article should really focus on general wasted time in entertainment not focusing on one item.
