Games, like various other forms of entertainment, allows for an escape from everyday life. But is it always worth it to indulge in this hobby?

It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
As a 27 year old, anything longer than a couple hours and I feel like I'm a leech who should do something more productive. Teens at least have a good excuse.
Disagree dude.
I'm 28 and can still happily play eight hours straight, it just seldom happens what with work and the wife.
I've struggled with this idea before. However, I have made my peace with it.
The feeling that you should always be doing something productive or self-enriching is not in itself productive; this is a symptom of a good degree of unnecessary social paranoia. It's pretty much an over-active "shame" response, it's you examining your self as an external entity and judging that entity via an imagined societal rule-book. It basically means that you subconsciously place far too much value on what other people think of you and how you spend your time.
Most of the people who would cast judgmental tutting over your gaming habits have their own vices that simply "waste" time. Watching 4 hours of football and sports related programming a day, or reality shows, or browsing the web/social networking, or any other related example. These are simply more socially acceptable to our culture (only because more people do it).
Most often, people on their death bed regret not spending more time enjoying themselves (and spending time with family/friends), instead of trying to work and be productive all the time. You're allowed to entertain yourself in whatever manner you see fit, so long as it's within the law. Last I checked, gaming wasn't illegal. So stop worrying about what other people think about your hobbies and just enjoy yourself.
