Re: You can say the same about a lot of things.

I'm not a gamer, but if it makes someone happy, then yes, it's a tangible benefit. If it doesn't make you happy, then it isn't.

I'm pretty sure making someone happy is actually an intangible benefit. And if it only makes you happy while you're doing it, but once you log off you're thinking "ohshit how late is it now what did I just doooooo?"...not even that.

The problem I have with the arguments you're making is that all can be said of anything that people do for fun or entertainment, but for some reason, video games get treated like they're somehow unique in this way. Someone can procrastinate by surfing the web, or watching a lot of TV, or reading fiction, etc etc. You can "waste time" and get only temporary stress relief from just about anything.

And, on the flip side, there's a lot of people who are responsible and only engage with their time-wasters after they've taken care of all their shit.

Almost anything can be a time-waster, but video games are one of the few time-wasters that give you the illusion of achievement.

Of course there are people who only engage with their time-wasters after they've taken care of all their shit, but I suspect they're in the minority, just like the people who only eat one potato chip or whose kitchen is always clean.
