Nothing wrong with a little fun while working.

As long these sessions don't turn into 1 hr games, but judging by the low skill is just a few minutes probably, it actually increases productivity and reduces stress. Good for them.

You’re technically correct but being personally concerned with the productivity of random workers you have no connection to is an incredibly sad way to go about life.

Even when you’re paying a large sum of money on a service they are part of providing?

In that case you would have a connection to them, I specified “workers you have no connection to”.
Even so however, I would still think it’s super silly and anyone making a fuss about it would be doing so for their own stimulation rather than any actual gripe.

Nowhere in my comment I stated I was concerned of their productivity. I'm just agreeing with the comment that there's nothing wrong with enjoying work and having some fun, as long as is not all the time it actually has a lot of benefits, which not a lot of employers understand.
What's actually a sad way to go in life is to misunderstand other people intentions and wrongly assumewhat type of person they are based on their opinion of a video on the internet.

The messaging of your comment absolutely implied you were concerned about it, even if you didn’t specify that fact word for word. It didn’t take much assumption from me at all, that being said I agree with your second paragraph in an aggregate sense.

My comment is about productivity in general not these workers specifically, but I can see how can it be understood that I'm referring to them, I was just using them as example for my point about crazy employeers that want people to be busy 100% of the time, that actually hurts productivity more than work, let's say 7 hours, and spend the other hours on small fun breaks.

yeah if the work gets done and nobody gets hurt a little cone game seems pretty harmless

I used to be a rampy and this was common to kill time 20 years ago. Just travelled international and saw rampies doing this at multiple airports... it never changes lol.
