I work in tech so at least 80% of people play video games. Either hardcore or casually, on their phones, PCs or Steam deck. The other 20% don't play video games because they're busy with life, like they just had kids.

I feel like if a boomer-minded take like, "Vidja games are for kids yuk yuk", literally everyone would rip into them.

The boomer minded take was, "video games are for lazy kids. Go outside and play."
