I remember when we used to play games for hours just for pleasure without any real time incentives. That would simply be called as wasting our time out.
This is the most dumb/stupid thing I have read in the recent past. If you have pleasure/enjoyment in something, then how could that be time wasting?
I agree that the play-to-earn gaming probably will have bright future, but the quote above is dumb/stupid.

I did not wrote anything like this. We are talking about two different things. And fun and enjoyment is an incentive itself. Time wasting is if you do something that you do not enjoy, even if you earn money with it. Many people literally waste their whole life by working eight hours a day in a job that they do not like to do, and they realize later that they wasted years/decades. They did not "lived". They wish that they would have spent those years/decades differently.

That does not change the fact that doing something for fun/enjoyment is not a time wasting. Even from the physical aspect. Life is not just/only about the money. Quite the opposite.
And time does not really exist anyway. Only in this physical world. But we are not really physical. We existed before we born on Earth, and we continue to exist after our physical human bodies die. Both being "born" on Earth and "dying" ("death") is just/only a transition. There is only the present and the eternity.
This is a very long topic.

If you are not enjoy doing it, then it is indeed time wasting. If you enjoy doing it, then it is not time wasting. Enjoyment is an incentive itself. And the time you spend on it does not matter. I have hundreds of hours (very close to 500 hours) in League of Legends: Wild Rift, and I am enjoying it very much. Nowadays this is one of my favorite games. I am (and millions of people) having fun. This has nothing to do with time wasting. This is absolutely not time wasting.
Instead of that, why not do something productive?
