I honestly don’t see how the average working class adult find that time. I feel like gaming is a luxury for rich/middle-class teens.

You also begin to realise how much of a waste of time gaming actually is.
Nearly everything enjoyable in life is a waste of time.
It’s almost like productivity isn’t our purpose in life.
Not really a waste if it’s the entertainment you enjoy the most. I’m not sure what you envision as gaming, but there are all types. Some are violence and conflict, but some are stories, some are just cooperative, some are puzzles.
Do you view tv, reading, radio, podcasts as all waste of time? Do you think all entertainment is a waste of time? If so you’re at least ideologically consistent, but I disagree and think humans need entertainment in their lives, for stress release etc. Different people will enjoy different entertainment, and with the caveat of it not harming other people, I don’t think it should be subject to gatekeeping.
There’s a difference between using it as entertainment and using it chronically. In answer to television/ films - everything in the last twenty five to thirty years is rubbish and a waste of time. I still like a blast on a cheap Chinese hand-held emulator to fill 10-20 mins or so then I put it down and forget about it.
When you adult, you have responsibilities. I’ve known children who come from successful families who have never played on a console because they’re busy doing positive things in life that will help them in future.

I don’t watch TV, I have two kids, I listen to audiobooks while I run, and I have an hour commute. You better believe that I’m playing video games on my way to and from work. Especially Stardew Valley. That beats any new TV show that anyone has tried to get me into.
