Our new employee handbook forbids video games. How is it 2015 and gamers are still being repressed like this?

Because most employers want you to be focused on making them money, OP.

Just take your 3ds / vita and go sit in your car and play during your lunch break, that way you get to miss out on all that lunchtime socializing that will help you climb the corporate ladder and you will be a lowly gaming clerk all your life.

This obviously won't work in a 20 people firm where everyone socializes with the hot young marketing women with the big tits at lunchtime in hopes of getting laid because there is no ladder to climb otherwise. I still take my gaming mobile to the toilet while everyone else sits around the hottie. My priorities are kept straight.

Who cares if people see you gaming during your lunch break? I play in my cube everyday on lunch break.

Climbing the corporate ladder is poo poo. It's not like a video game where you get a high score. It's where you do work so you have to do more work. Capitalism is hosed up.

Get a job in supported housing like me where you have to do 24 hours every other weekend and have a lot of downtime, plus are effectively 'free' from 11pm as you are only there on call.

I guess you could also aim to be a technician in a data center. The positions I've heard of have you work 12 hours a day / 3 days a week but when things work you have nothing to do and can probably play games if your employer isn't awful. The downside is when something breaks you have to do a ton of work.
