Rogan's comments have been pretty polarising on Twitter.

I can kinda get what he's saying about how making video games your entire life can be a detriment that gets in the way of everything else. Yaknow, if you're playing like 16 hours a day, every day. Not many people manage to turn being a gamer into a career. That said, to use Rogan's BJJ example - how many people who train that get good enough to make money from it to the point where they train others?

I mean, since the lockdown I've been spending too much time online (now I have to self isolate for a week too because potential virus exposure - am feeling okay currently) and it's been affecting me.

Everything in moderation. Games, TV, books, whatever.

I think this is where most people are misinterpreting him a bit.

He isn't saying that playing games occasionally as a hobby is that bad but its when it is done at an amount where it becomes detrimental to other parts of your life.

This seems like an overreaction to me.
