So I got asked tonight "Why i play video games like a child" My answer was because if you had said that to me 20 years ago instead of talking to you and explaining like I`m going to i would have punched you in the mouth :D
Games are my escape, My way of chilling out. If i am angry i will play a game like Doom or Street Fighter. Something to get the adrenaline pumping but to also calm me down get the anger out of me. If im stressed i will play a Role Playing game like Mass Effect or Skyrim or the one im Playing now Fire Emblem(Which is why the conversation got started in the first place). I lose myself in the story, It helps me relax.
He didn`t say anything after that for a while and then said "I play Golf to do all that" So you play a game, It`s just a different kind of game to which he agreed with me, Of course i was still annoyed and wanted to shove said Golf Clubs up his ass but thanks to gaming i didn`t :D
At the end of the day I think we all have our hobbies that help us relax and nobody should be told it`s wrong no matter what it is, Aslong as It`s legal of course lol
