There is a quote by C.S. Lewis that goes as follows:
"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

One of my favourite quotes, and descriptive of an attitude that's sadly very prevalent in the gaming sector.

It's prevalent in the gaming sector, because gaming hasn't reached all demographics yet, it is mostly common for children, teenagers and young adults. I'm nearly 40 years old, and have no longer a problem admitting I like Lego-games (although I think there are too much, I don't need to buy every game), while I also like how Bloodborne takes shape.
