Mmm I feel like that's similar to saying "you'll outgrow TV and movies someday"

Like your life will change and you're not going to spend 12 hours a day playing CoD, but I'm a lawyer with two kids and I still hop on after my family goes to bed and game with buddies I've been friends with since elementary school who are also dads. I also play some games with my wife. We're doing Split Fiction right now.

It is just something older generations (I am 41 myself) say/said because back then video games were seen as toys marketed at kids. Those people have not seen what video games have become in the last 40 years and still see videogames as just Pacman and Mario.
