Studying is merely self-satisfaction, like playing, if the knowledge you gain is not used for others.
(I added commas! But I think "like playing" needs parenthetical emphasis here.)

Thank you for your answer, Igirisujin! "Merely" sounds cool! I have seen it before, but never used it! I'll use it! :)

No problem. : )
Merely is a good word to emphasise lower worth, or relative insignificance. It's a bit stronger than "just" in this sentence and it helps to reveal the sense sooner.

Ah, right! I didn't think about the difference between just and merely. Your additional comment helps a lot too. Thank you again, Igirisujin!
