Video g\*mes are damaging to society because the saving of a simulation is instant-gratification for something you didn’t really deserve.

You pop in a new title, and are thrown into a virtual world full of problems. You are provided with the perfect tools for the problems. You are given enough time, you can find everything you need. There is always a perfect, rational, solution. The comforts of objectivity. At the end of the g*me, you’ve corrected the problems and saved everyone– except you didn’t. It was only a g*me.

In real life, there is a world full of problems. You are not provided with tools. You do not have enough time. Often there is no solution. No comforting narrative, and worse, the madness of subjectivity. G*mes merely cuck you into thinking you’ve done something with yourself, while your real world is rotting. The reality is that almost anything else you can do is more useful than g*ming.
