IMO it's even worse. At least when playing a game you are using more of your brain. You train hand eye coordination. You can solve puzzles, train reflexes...

Watching movies or doomscrolling just does nothing.

Additionally depending on the game you may be getting social interaction that you are never going to get form your TV.
