playing ark for 5000 hours is far more accessible than (likely) paying for and earning a 5000-hour masters’ degree. 

there’s no need to shame someone for this

sorry I phrased it poorly and didnt even meant to take this in consideration. Ofcourse you cant "just" earn a masters degree. But you surely you agree that in 5000 hours you could earn a valuable skill that lasts longer for your personal needs. Anything. Learning an instrument, reading some books that teach you a valuable skill etc... Dont want to sound arrogant at all because I do the same thing. I probably have 2000 hours in pokemon so i didnt want to sound like a hypocrit but from my side I really wished I had invested these 2000 hours in something else because 2000 hours in pokemon didnt get me anything rather than displacing negative and depressive thoughts in the moment i felt while playing it.
