The same difference I point out for the kind of people that play sports games. If you can do it irl with friends and it can carry over outside of video games then there's no excuse to do it in a video game. There's a line that needs to not be crossed

Some people work until its dark outside, or have jobs that leave them physically exhausted to not be able to perform without damaging themselves in outside activities, or just have a fucked schedule in general.
Should they just do nothing everyday of the week until they have the opportunity to on a day off or the like? Or can they turn on a dumb little de-stresser at 10pm and have a good time without it being the end of the world?
The era of "9-5 as a general rule" jobs is long since gone, and with it that semblance of "everyone can do this in their daily life."
That's a fair point. I've had this same view since Jr high but I still think it's a slippery slope into living life disconnected. It's the same reason I've always hated social media. I'm certainly not as hard-core about it anymore because I do understand the issues that can crop up
No doubt issues can crop up. Like all things, it needs moderation and balance.
If you spend all the work week killing time inside, you should absolutely try to go out on the weekend and socialize.
But at the same time if you are having fun, being happy, and not heavily regressing in your life's path I think most people should be allowed to do their thing.
