I'm going to go against the grain here and say, video games are a terrible 'hobby'. I used to play once a week/fortnight, but seeing my siblings spend hours upon hours on it every day turns me off so much, I haven't played in a couple months. This is even after spending 4.5k on a specced out gaming rig, I've spent less than 10 hours playing games over the last 3 months.
It sounds cliche but video games are a total waste of time in every sense of the word. Unlike gardening, programming, doing something technical, writing, creating video content, woodworking...video games benefit absolutely no one but yourself AND the time you spend playing doesn't 'compound'...being great at one game doesn't make you better in another OR help you out in other skills OR bring you income once you spend 10k hours playing (please save your dignity and don't come at me with esports). Any of the other skills, if you spend the amount of time the average gamer spends on his 'hobby', you could easily sell your skills/start a business.
Video gaming is a very selfish hobby and one that people should tread carefully.
Let me clarify this with this point: It all depends on the time you spend playing. Research shows the average gamer spends 7-8 hours a week, that's a freaking full days of work! Total waste of time.
Some guys try to make gaming sound like a 'hobby' when it's actually an addiction.
A 'healthy' gamer imo is someone who plays 3-4 hours a week MAX and NOT every day. Doing something every day is not just a hobby, it's a 'habit' . And gaming is a bad habit. There are tons of other hobbies you can choose where the more time you spend on it, you can reap the rewards in the future.
