I've played a wide range of games from old school DOOM and Quake right up to World Of Warcraft. They have been a form of entertainment and relaxation for me. I don't find them a waste of time because with games like WoW I talk to friends and socialise.
I got my first computer back in 1985 and the majority of programs were games but by learning how those games worked I developed programming skills that have served me in my working career.
Like anything you do, you need to make sure you balance it out with other activities like reading, physical activities like bike riding etc.
Saying gaming is pointless is like saying astronomy is pointless, it's an unfair and biased comment.
