I think it's not really a privilege. Video games are a freely purchasable product and everyone has the same opportunity to buy and play games. If by privilege you mean "special rights", then no, gaming is not that. Saying that being able to play video games is a privilege is like saying being able to eat a sandwich is a privilege, since those things can cost about the same, it's a rather ridiculous thing to describe as privilege, since almost anyone could attain it, if they wanted to. The money, the freedom that let's you do these things and the society you have been born into that provides them, that is the real privilege.

Don't let yourself be guilt tripped into thinking your "privilege" is a bad thing, you didn't hurt anyone, you can't solve the world's problems by giving up your own wealth. Be content with yourself, if you're a decent person. You can do whatever you want, as long as it's legal. You don't have the obligation to fix the world. If SJWs call others out on being "privileged" then I'd like to know what they think should be done about it. Communism? No thanks, I don't want a totalitarian government ruining the economy. If social justice is so important to such people, first they should donate everything they have to charity, so they don't look like dumb hypocrites who are endowed with the great privilege of eating a sandwich.
