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.
Life is not just about only enjoying playing games for no incentives.
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.
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.
Because we need fun, enjoyment, entertainment too. We are not robots. And it is not like I do not do productive things at all. I do. But not all day, every day. And I am sure that you do not either. You probably also watch movies, listen to music, etc. And playing play-to-earn games are not productive either. You earn money with them, but that is completely speculative, and nothing productive is happening during playing a play-to-earn video game, nor during playing any other video game.
The problem with this is the fact that nowadays there are no play-to-earn games, which could provide long term fun, enjoyment and entertainment. So currently there is no real alternative. But maybe there will be in the future. Maybe League of Legends will also switch to play-to-earn model in the future. Fun, enjoyment and entertainment comes first in gaming. At least for me. If there will be real, fun, enjoyable and entertaining play-to-earn MOBA (or other) games, then I will play them. The developers have a good challenge. They have to create a game that is equal to (or better than) League of Legends. Or make the game play-to-earn. The play-to-earn "genre" certainly has the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry, but this depends mostly on the game developers. They have to make good games. Just like in the case of the "traditional" games. We will see whether they will do it or not.
I had a discussion about similar topics and one of the comments was that Why would traditional games want to come in the Play2Earn area as they are already earning a lot of money? The thing is that it will not be a question of "wanting" but more a question of following the trend... If not, they will be put on the side and forgotten...
Also, I saw some comments here about "play for fun"... Of course, we are playing games for fun, but why wouldn't be possible to have fun AND earn some crypto? I'm having a lot of fun in SL, and seeing some FPS games coming to crypto makes me even more bullish about it!
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project and it will be highlighted in the next post!
Absolutely. I watch my wife playing solitary for hours and I think, "She isn't getting anything for that..." Just a mater of time before the lights come on. Now that crypto is becoming mainstream it won't be much longer before everyone is playing 2 earn.

This is a very long topic.

Instead of that, why not do something productive?

Yep.
Now that some of the big businesses are embracing this technology and probably more will follow, that is possible.
Electronic-terrorism, voice to skull and neuro monitoring on Hive and Steem. You can ignore this, but your going to wish you didnt soon. This is happening whether you believe it or not. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
