Personally, I wouldn't be very happy if my kids were to spend hours a day on gaming. A couple hours a week to help unwind from the stresses of teenage life when they're a bit older, sure.

I've seen people lose out on a lot through videogames. Kids getting addicted to MMOs, people choosing gaming over studying and failing their degrees, etc.

Seems fair. Video games and other forms of entertainment are big time sinks. Sure it can be done in moderation and all that. I've had times in my life where i procrastinated doing real work and just pressed some buttons to save the world.
