Is Gaming a Waste of Time?

I think itis a waste of time solely because we could be doing something that is more productive with our lives. Sure it is fun, but that fun can only last for so long. As we grow older, video games will grow on us and not seem so interesting anymore. After I quit gaming a couple months ago, I realized that I've become a better person and have started doing other productive things such as reading books or even honing my skills for a certain hobby.
