I feel like some of the cultural outrages and doomerism are getting ridiculous. People do not drink as much alcohol as they used to, we are doomed! People actually avoid situation that make them drink and drive, we are doomed! Teenagers have less sex then before, take less drugs, commit less crime, we are doomed!

Cant wait for "kids play less videogames, we are doomed!" round.

Considering the video game industry contributes $66 billion to US GDP (and $184 billion globally) [1] some people would probably see it as an issue.
