Is there something wrong with spending a lot of time playing video games?

[Tømpson]

Other people have hobbies such as building boats or collecting stamps. You play games online to fill free time. If it isn't damaging others then they shouldn't bother.

You shouldn't pick online friends over real life friends.

Absolute bullstuff.

Online friends are still real friends. You still talk to them and spend time together. Sometimes they might know you better than people you've met face to face.
