Without it, there would be no creativity. Are video games a legitimate form of art and entertainment or just a waste of time? Video games are a legitimate form of art and entertainment because they have become incredibly diverse and realistic.

You're missing the forest for the trees. Sure, graphics got prettier, but prettiness isn't art. A movie could be photorealistic and still be garbage. What matters is whether games offer something *meaningful*, and most don't. They're designed to trigger dopamine loops, not challenge your thinking. Thousands of hours grinding the same mechanics won't make you wiser, more creative, or better at anything except that specific game. A child reading a novel develops empathy and vocabulary. A child playing the hundredth shooter just develops faster reflexes and sore thumbs. Diversity of games doesn't prove legitimacy—there's diversity in junk mail too. What *specific* game has changed how you see the world?
