In my eyes school is 10 times more important then a video game here is what you get out of them

School
You get a future job: you make money: have a nice home: all that is worth a life time

Video game
4 months later I hate this game already: no job: not making any money: still living with your mum and dad

What do you guys think of all this

depends, if you're ongoing the path to being a successful youtuber then that is the only reason I see so.

True but becoming a successful youtuber now compared to 2010 is a lot different. You could be sitting there 3 years later still not successful when in that time you could of had a full time job with great money

I think that you should pay no mind to what other people do - it's quite honestly none of your business. It's their lives; they choose what to do with them.

Depending on what level you're at in school, missing a single day won't do much harm - that's not to say that I still do it, but hell yeah I've done it in the past (years ago).

You shouldn't try to dictate what other people should and shouldn't do. As i've said, it's completely up to them. It doesn't affect you at all.

Lol, okay. Going to school doesn't promise you a "future job: you make money: have a nice home: all that is worth a life time".

In fact, if anything, going to school just means you'll probably go to college/university after school and waste another 4 or so years at education. Then after that, you're not promised a job. Most people who go to college or university, when they finish, find out that in fact, there aren't many jobs. So, yeah. Plus, missing a single day of school isn't going to do any harm, why is that any of your business anyway?

I'm just getting my point out that I think its better to get a education then wasting your life on a video game when that one day could of been a test or even a gcse

Live life how you want to within reason but I think if your over 18 and sitting on the dole playing video games all day then no. But if you play and have a part time job or do youtube/streaming or play tournaments and get money then why not if you love it then do it.

It doesn't bother me when people do this because it's their life, but I think it's kinda pointless because you can play it right when you get home from school.

Alot of people do this at my school for the new Call of Duty and I find it completely stupid. Why don't they just wait the 6 hours of school than playing it? I don't get it.

Sense!!! Never once had I skipped school/sixth form for a game, nor will I be skipping a day at my new job for a game either. Games can wait, do what you are required to do first, get the work done and play later
