#3"people who play video games for extended periods of time report being happier." As we all know, if it makes you happy, it's good for your well-being. Now, go eat all the sugar you can while doing zero exercise and playing video games in between porn sessions.

Do you think playing video games a lot is comparable to excessive sugar consumption or sedentarism in terms of harm?

Yes, back when I played WoW excessively I almost lost my job. Losing your job is pretty high in terms of things that bring you harm, both mental and physical harm.

Yes. Video games fulfill the need to succeed by fighting for good, building useful things, accomplishing objectives, building relationships, etc without actually doing those things, and wasting a great deal of your time (4+ hours per day recommended by this study!) doing so. The same way sugary crap tastes delicious but just wastes calories that could otherwise go to nutritious food.
We're all giving our lives up to something. Do you really want to give your life away to hollow fake accomplishment?

Yes, it's an artificial dopamine release like any other.

I hypothesise that many games make people feel miserable in the long term. Especially games that include addictive elements or mind-numbing grinds.
