Well, I sure hope they don't think like you do. Video games certainly don't make money, and they must surely be a waste of time.

• Video game sales exceeded the movie industry's annual box office draw last year by $1 billion.
  
• Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, sold more than 1.4 million copies at an average $48 apiece in its first three days. That $70 million windfall easily puts it in the ranks of a blockbuster movie.
  
• Designers can make $50,000 a year right out of college and twice as much if they are part of a team that produces a hit video game.
  
• Total video game sales were $777 million for THIS MONTH ALONE, up from $563 million in September of last year.

I'm sure glad they're not focusing on "dumb" things that don't make any money.
