This trend of spitting on casual gamers...

It might have been kiddie playing video games years ago when the older generations were non gamers, but now the average age of the person playing Halo is not in the low teens and it will go further and further up as gamers grow up and there are more of them in the coming generations.

To somehow tell me that violent video games are immature is pretty baseless as violence is probably the topic that has most interested man throughout the ages and engaging in simulated violence does not make it automatically less than playing a strategy game.

Games have made basically zero inroads into the adult market for 15 years. 23 year old gamers? Sure. But the 35+ market has avoided everything but The Sims, Civilization, and Tetris.

Again: this should tell you something.
