I decided for myself; that's all that matters.
I have the right to do so, and failed hobbies are what this thread is about.
> hand-eye coordination
Yes, that's why I can't catch a ball.
> reaction time
Granted, as far as pressing buttons goes.
> concentration
To the detriment of all else.
> problem-solving skills
If you want to solve your problems with bullets, L-Shaped blocks, or by casting Ultima, then yes.
> and communication/team skills.
Perhaps if you play Team Fortress clan matches.
For the most part, social skills suffer when not dealing face-to-face with people.
Most importantly I feel it's a waste of my time because it's not going to help me gain capital, gain a family, contribute to humanity or better myself/others. I won't die while regretting time I could have spent building something for myself besides a megalopolis in SimCity XVII.
Invest your own time however you want, I'm not going to judge.
