I agree it’s somewhat dystopian when referring to video games, however I feel some types of games can offer genuine fulfillment. I used to play tennis and volleyball regularly, and although these are sports they could basically be considered physical forms of games. The routine of training and competing against others definitely added enjoyment to my life and was a welcome distraction from anything else that may have been bothering me at the time.

Mindless video games where you chase dopamine hits and programmed stimulus and have no interaction with others isn’t the same.
