By the way, completely unrelated note, but this whole "video games are for kids, you need to grow up" thing is basically this generation's version of Rock and Roll.

Way back, parents hated that newfangled Rock and Roll and strongly discouraged all that nasty dancing and hip-shaking. Those kids grew up vowing to be cool when they were parents, but they hated Metal, Rap, etc whatever their kids were in to. Those kids grew up vowing to be cool with whatever music their kids were ever in to, and now they are griping about Video Games.

Now, its definitely possible the team could have been distracted and needed to focus more on their profession, but I see absolutely no difference whatsoever between them playing too many video games, or watching too much TV, or wasting too much time on cards or shooting pool, but those other things don't have the same visceral reaction with the older folks as seeing these young men "screwing around with video games" and "not growing up".
