If nothing else the physical strain on your eyes should be enough to consider.
oh good grief.
To say that video games have the same amount of physical exertion as chess means that you’ve never played video games.
have you have every played blitz chess?
Nope, are you saying it’s a sport?
no, I am saying playing playing video games has no more physical exertion than playing blitz chess when your time is running out. I see videos of professionals making moves when time running out, I seen their arms and hands move in a blur.
look how fast these guys move their pieces.

If you don’t want to believe me, I don’t know what to tell you.
