I completely agree that video games are not inherently harmful and can actually offer significant mental and emotional benefits when used responsibly. Many adults deal with constant stress from work and daily life, and gaming can serve as a healthy outlet to decompress. Simulation and strategy games, for instance, encourage planning, decision-making, and patience, which are skills that can transfer into real life. Adventure games stimulate creativity and can even inspire storytelling or critical thinking. The key lies in moderation and self-awareness. Setting time limits and choosing games that provide enrichment rather than endless scrolling or gambling-like mechanics is essential. In this sense, digital gaming can indeed function as a form of stress therapy, especially when integrated into a balanced lifestyle. Adults can absolutely learn to use gaming as a relaxation tool instead of avoiding responsibilities, finding a sustainable way to combine entertainment with mindfulness.

Personally i feel it mainly depends on the person playing the games. I have played some action games and it actually helped me in a positive way.

It's like entering another world without traveling

You learn to take action intelligently, not greedily

They teach you to make difficult decisions without crying like a child
