You realize that extended gaming has all around delirious effects compared to those activities, right ? Having 45 hours of free time each week is on the higher end, most of those employed full time can't even find 30 hours of free time let alone 45 hours ...  


The Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the same person that owns Fox News. It is not a valid source of information, anymore than Fox News is.

But at least that WSJ article linked to the U.S. Department of Labor. Let's take a look at that. https://www.bls.gov/tus/ The average person spends 5.13 hours on leisure and sports activities. That's about 36 hours per week. Keep in mind, this is the average. Being average =/= healthy. The average american is overweight. The average american almost never exercises. https://www.hhs.gov/fitness/resource-center/facts-and-statistics/index.html So being on the higher end of average is utterly meaningless.
