Right on MoS. That is me as well except I can't give up the video games.
video games are like all games ever created by men; a way to escape to release your anger inner violence and frustration while learning how to survive cooperating with people sharing the same interests. That's the point of "games". All other animal species play games, games are meant to be a preparation for real fights later in life in all animal species. Also it teaches you hierarchy and giving/receiveing from others. Now there s the lonely virgin guy masturbating on mangas and playing video games all day long living in his single mom's basement, and people who just enjoy having some fun "virtually" killing each others in video games once in a while. It all depends of what you do with it, as usual. But "gaming", "playing" is perfectly normal and healthy if you dont abuse it. As i age i do other stuff -because i can do them cause i have a house- like home improvement, making furnitures, shooting targets , teaching my daughter how to survive adapt dominate etc, but if you live in an apartment cause you dont have the money for better or bigger, well you re stuck with releasing your frustration in video games or watching sport on tv-which i still do tho.
Being rich allows you to have more stuff to do, more addictions to fall for. Everything is addiction in life, some addictions are better than other tho. But we re all trying to find something to do instead of realizing how vain life is. It's the process of "sublimation" in scientific terms. Getting into the flow of something being taught or learning it yourself, so you dont focus on painful stuff and reflexions.
