Many wise words have already been spoken here, but I would like to point out that video gaming is so diverse that a more relevant question would probably be what we compare it to. For instance, compare the following examples, if you will:
Playing Call of Duty = Playing Cops & Robbers or Cowboys & Indians - or any other imaginary last-man-to-die scenario using sticks as weapons, outside
Playing any Total War game = Playing table top Warhammer
Playing Baldur's Gate = Reading a Tolkien book
Playing World of Warcraft = Playing a team sport
Playing Hearthstone = Playing any card game on a table
Playing Minecraft = Building a cabin in the woods
To the question of how video gaming might relate to evolution, I see it as a developed form of playing in a sandbox outside with friends.
The problem that I see with video gaming is that it can take up too much time, but it can also keep some people off drugs.
Keep in mind that, as our society has progressed, video gaming has replaced some of the other joyful activities that children enjoyed before, since children today are basically raised by computers in various forms, which means that they may not even be aware that those other activities - like coming up with their own ideas for a game or activity to partake in - exist. This, if anything. could have some repercussions in the future. For example, there's not much in the way of climbing trees in video game format, and video gaming lacks the reality of face-to-face interactions, which may be useful in developing a sense of self and consequences in relation to the world.
