Yes it is bad, u must take some rest. Because sitting in front of a computer playing 3d games makes you tired. It shows a big influence on your eyes and brain. So u are easily tierd. Keep taking rest for some time. Don't play more games in front of a computer, try to concentrate on some outdoor games like cricket, football, volleyball, basketball, tennis....whatever u like to play.

Depends if you are talking about children or adults. Childeren need the time to play outside and not on games in the home especially when there is good weather. The interaction of friends or family is great for them as they can learn to deal with diffrent things as a child that might be able to use the same approch as they get older. If it is an adult and they are playing games outside for this length of time. They must be very active or something at home is making them do something to this nature.

It depends on if you are playing a game with someone or not. And what kind of game it is. Some people think it's really bad to do but in my own personal oppion it's not all that bad. If it's something you like and enjoy doing then do it. Some people don't really have anything else to do or have any friends to hang out with so why not do it.

If you play games everyday for 6 to 7 hours then yea you get no exercise.

Playing that long on Computer Games is no good idea. Your brain becomes mushy. You don't use your imagination enough. Especially when you are still growing up.

6 or 7 hours everyday is really not good for you but if its 1 or 2 days out of every week that you play for 6 or 7 hours than I would say it ok.

No i don't think so better then sitting around on your butt all day getting fat and unhealthy, That's whats wrong with the world nobody's outside anymore playing games. I think that as long as your not over doing it then there's no problem at all

What you spend time on and with will give you Reward. Time is Life and Money. I helped you to do a calculaton actually.If you have 70yrs to live for instance and you play games 7hr per day then after 70 yrs you would have spent roughly 20 years of your life playing games. What is priority to you will determine whether it's worth it or not.

Anything too much is too bad. How will you decide ? For example in chess, people play for day in and day out (some exceptions). Divide a day and give time slots: eg. lunch 1 hr, sleep 8 hrs. work 8 hrs, play 1 hour, exercise 1 hr. playing games (either computer or non-computer) 1 hour like that. Is it convincing?

6 or 7? Not really. I used to play for a minimum of about 12 hours a day. Only moving to get food or go to the toilet.
