Sky News host advises teenager to leave their house and engage in outdoor activities instead of playing Tetris

A teenager from Oklahoma named Willis Gibson recently broke the record for the original version of the 80s game Tetris. This achievement gained global attention as it was thought to be impossible for a human player. However, Sky News' Jayne Secker received criticism for ending a live report on Willis' success by saying that "beating Tetris is not a life goal." Many people found her comments disappointing and old-fashioned. Taking on challenging gaming feats is a popular aspect of gaming, with videos and streams of records being broken attracting millions of views. One online streamer named Nikolas, also known as Nikoheart, believes that the issue lies in presenters lacking knowledge about these record-breaking moments. He suggests that presenters take more time to understand why these achievements mean so much to the gaming community. Ukie, which represents the UK games industry, also expressed the need for more respect towards the sector, highlighting the positive aspects of video games such as relaxation, community-building, and the development of skills like problem-solving and critical thinking.
