What are your thoughts on video games, do you think they are beneficial or harmful?

To share my stand on this topic, here are some points you can use. Video games have advantages but more on disadvantages. Its advantages are just for social connections which allow players to meet or converse with other people, and there are also opportunities of earning money because people nowadays are getting paid just to play games using their accounts or to serve as their opponent and get an award. On the other hand, if done regularly for a longer period of time, it has many disadvantages as well such as incompetence to real-life scenarios, health problems, and wasteful time. Therefore, my stand is it is more harmful than beneficial.
