I dunno. I can see one side of the argument:
Playing video games is akin to wasting your time doing anything else. Obsessing over reality TV, facebook, whatever. There are better things to do with your free time. On the flip side: It is your free time. For me, during my free time I want to do as little as possible because the rest of my life is busy as hell. I rarely have more than a pair of hours at the end of the day in which I can just chill, and my chosen method of chilling is playing EQ and killing pixels. No different than anything else. | ||

Keep in mind that in everquest's heyday they had 450k subscriptions. That's 450,000 monthly payments of $15. All that money employs a lot of people so while people playing EQ are not producing, they are consuming. Consuming is a normal part of an economy.
Ben Stein claims to be an economist but he certainly doesn't know much about economics or finance. I'm an econ/finance major and while I do not proclaim to be brilliant in either field I honestly feel like Ben Stein knows absolutely nothing about either. If you'd like proof go look up what the mongoloid said about the global financial crisis. He's a loud-mouth moron which is why his only outlet to get people to listen to him is Fox News. | ||
