But why is it ok to watch movies or do crossword puzzles at whatever age in your life yet video games should cease at a certain age? There's a stigma or an assumption from a lot of people that gaming is for kids, but that's ignorant. It's like when my dad use to criticize me for watching the simpsons when i was a teen because he thought since it was a cartoon that it was meant for kids, yet the jokes and story lines were clearly geared towards adults.
To me, these are all mediums that ultimately fall in the category of entertainment and why judge anyone for choosing their own form of leisurely activity. As games evolve and become even more advanced (i.e. Virtual Reality) and it becomes more easily accessible (i.e. smart phones), not only will there be more and more people gaming, but people will likely be gaming further and further into their adult lives.
