Honestly I kinda hate that sentiment. Just a video game. Not a chore not a career just entertainment.

The reason I hate that is because like many gamers video games are not a chore they are not a career they are not just entertainment.

What they are is a hobby. And like with any other hobbies people want to be challenged.

No one picks up karate with the aim of staying the bottom belt forever they want to be challenged and climb the belts

No one joins a football team that doesn\\'t want to win games, the cup or league or whatever.

Painting drawing baking all exactly the same.

Being challenged in videogames is no bad thing and certainly does not make it a full time career or chore.

Sure some people play just to kill time but others see it more of a hobby..

I fly model helicopters and planes. It's a hobby I always want to improve and get better at it. Does not make it a career or a chore
