Why videogames are so controversial?

Videogames are one of the biggest hobbies we have, but there are a lot of people who are hooked and obsessed with them, foremost teenagers. Is there any activity which would make you use your time in a better way than playing videogames?

Almost all videogames promote violence, racism or bad language, which is not ethically correct and is not good for developing children. Moreover, they could make you fat and may isolate you from the real world too, as you play sitting on the sofa at home. That’s why I think other kind of activities such as playing sports, which would help you to improve your health and welfare or reading, which would help you to raise your knowledge. Meeting your friends may be another good option instead of videogames.

To sum up, the reason why I prefer other activities to be promoted by our leaders is that videogames are taking so much time from people’s life and decreasing their life quality that they should be controlled in order to avoid the situations I mentioned in the paragraph above.
