You're going to get torn apart for this because you're not clear at all.

There's a huge difference between playing 200 hours of Fortnite, and playing 100 hours of 30 different short single player games like SOMA, Portal, To The Moon, INSIDE, Ori and the Blind Forest, Crypto of the Necrodancer, Doki Doki Literature Club, etc.

Plenty of games can provoke just as much critical thinking and reflection as any book can - and they do! These games can leave you thinking about them for weeks, and you can discuss them with other people, even people who don't play games (in the same way you can tell someone about a great book you read, who hasn't read it).

In the first example of playing Fortnite for 200 hours, you're just doing the same thing over and over. I feel this IS a waste of time. Whether you play 200 hours of Fortnite or 2 hours, you'll have more or less had the same experience with the game. It's mostly just mindless fun after a certain point.

You can't reflect on Fortnite, or really talk to anyone about it (other than "OMG I WAS PLAYIN AND THIS OTHER TEAM WAS COMIN AND IT WAS 1v4 AND I DID THIS AND KILLED THEM LOL!!!!" - which no one really wants to hear).
