Video games are just a form of entertainment. Everyone needs a way to blow off steam.

Perhaps you should consider your audience if you don't want to come off as "mean". This is a forum filled with computer geeks (in fact Bitcoin mining used to be done with hardware specifically designed for computer gaming). Telling them that computer games are "so pointless" is probably not going to earn you any friends. I'd imagine that most of the users here think that jewelry is pointless, but they probably don't go to jewelry forums to share their opinion. That would be a perfect example of trollish behavior.
