A rising number of young Americans are disconnected from work, school, and a sense of purpose.
Disconnection rates have been increasing since the 1990s, affecting young people's futures.
Poor mental health and a lack of a financial safety net contribute to rising disconnection.

You don't need to play video games to accomplish something and feel progression. Any hobby will do that. Some are essentially for free, other than the time spend. Hence I do not see that one specific connection. Otherwise should be a good starting point to figure the reasons out.

The person being quoted isn't saying that everyone who needs to escape reality does so through video games but that most people who play video games are doing so to escape reality. Your example of other hobbies providing the same effect doesn't counter this claim

That sounds like a baseless claim based on their own view. Hence I brought some counter examples.

The original claim was that the Popoto country mainly produces papaya. You said that the Combucha country also produces papaya. Your statement doesn't refute the first one, at all.

millennials and the younger generations play so much video games is that it's the only way to experience the fantasy of actually doing something and progressing in any significant way that we don't experience any more in real life. And forget about owning a home and building a family with kids and all that. It's become incredibly difficult and something reserved for the wealthy elite

The person clearly states "the only way". That is clearly bullshit. Like saying "only Popoto produces pots papaya", to use ur example.

damn you are right, I missed that "only". nvm

All good, thank you.

Of course! But, I'm saying it e generation in general has been doing that to fill a void.
