"From 2004 to 2007, young, unemployed men without college degrees were spending 3.4 hours per week playing video games. By 2011 to 2014, the average time spent per week had more than doubled to 8.6 hours."
Growth rate alarming, but 8.6hrs/wk is a job-replacer @AndrewYangVFA?

I think the idea is that UBI will not be quite enough. And for all the these deincentivise cases, there will be the not rewarding single mothers for having more children cases. Parents would be better off staying together and working a little, for example.
Another angle into this: is there a way for these men to produce economically valuable knowledge work inside of these games? Often they involve high levels of skill, coordination, strategic thinking etc. This is a game design problem. Related:https://twitter.com/FEhrsam/status/1053147853411909632 …

Yes, and UBI is better suited to work with or incentivise such solutions. The upshot is, income cannot continue be tied to the traditional sense of work in the future. This relationship is understandably hard to shirk but will kill us if we don't.

I assume Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, & the countless smartphone game developers endlessly mine data which they sale or share. What real-life applications, other than drone gunnery specialist, do video game skills offer?

Helping to learn algebra and finance among many other things. Though i guess it might not be as prevalent with the popularity of MMOs giving way for Battle Royale games.
