Video games are bad, but what about board games?

Are card games also childish?

Sports games?

Perhaps we should stop playing games altogather and tell everyone at the Olympic Games to stop being children!

Bloody chess players, don't they know how much they look like kids!

I think what the parent comment was hinting at is that there is no absolute separator between a non-adult and an adult. It is a thousand different things and the type of game you enjoy playing is not necessarily a good indicator on its own.
