Infantilism as a norm (2018)
I think the idea that thriller novels or horse racing are more mature than video games questionable, however. Your average adult thriller (or hollywood AAA movie) has a plot that would sit right alongside video game plots.

The claim was that readers of Tom Clancy are more mature than video gamers. I found that claim surprising.

Only as much as someone who’s only ever read shallow corny “action” novels.
