Not meaning to offend? Sounds pretty judgmental to me.
Live life the way you chose. You can decide on your death bed if you won or lost.

And lived longer. Anybody sitting more than 45 minutes is harming their body.
This is proven fact. People who play video games are limiting their lifespan.
(no being sarcastic or making a joke... being serious... this is common medical knowledge)
Labor-like work is actually one of the best things you can do for your body. Ironically, many people have jobs where they end up sitting. So they get more stuff, but they don't get a longer life necessarily.
I'm not advocating staying single and working less so you can play games. I'm just saying that if a person chooses to do that then there're consequences to that choice.
Of course, no matter what anybody does, they're going to die. So you can only pick the poison that suites you as a person. Still, how we're remembered after we die is probably the most important thing that occurs to us as we age. Does a person want to be remembered as an extreme gamer? Or as an extreme gamer that just so happened to give all his extra earnings to charity? Or a man that had a couple kids and spent his extra money on their education and had fun by being creative? Most people do not view video gaming as a good thing to remember about someone. I know that when I'm on my deathbed, I don't want to be remembered for scoring 151 successive kills without dying in Quake 10. I want to be remembered for something meaningful and real.
