Well, that's what my parents and their generation told us when we were growing up in the 80's. That's definitely been proven to be a wrong assumption.

I will tell you that my skills decreased greatly moving into my 30s and then beyond, and nowadays I don't have as much energy to game, but I'm still interested in gaming. As a result, I watch Let's Plays of games at 2x speed as I'm winding down to get my story fix. I also still play a lot of simulation and management games I can casually pause and walk away from. Those are good ones for when my wife and I are just hanging out watching TV. But yeah, my usage of games has changed over the years in part because of skill, but more because of shifting priorities and what I choose to do with my focus time.

I like watching replays of ping mobile by some guy Called BuiBiu I find the game play intertwining especially since I don’t have a device to play with

A game you can walk away from when you need to - that's pretty much my criteria for anything that I'm going to play more than once a blue moon.
