Wouldn't it be better if we just play CoD or Mario Kart instead?

If we could build an economy large enough to uphold the world around people playing video games it would obviously be the first choice but there just isn't enough to it. Building robots to fight each other is the only safe option, get some R&D going and have them powered with enough petrol to cover the people not driving, maybe make their default weapon a petrol flamethrower along with some petrol grenades and some petrol bullets, perhaps some petrol carpet bombing.

So the only way to keep everyone employed is by ploughing trillions into R+D'ing automation thereby bringing about or speeding up the day when robots steal all our jobs?
