Because there's a stigma to it. Hugh Jackman doesn't want his kids playing video games, yet he is very much involved in making Hollywood film which parallels itself with games. They are both entertainment. If one over indulges in either, both can become troublesome, but they are otherwise harmless in moderation.
This is just like the alcohol/weed dichotomy. Alcohol has been part of western culture for a long time, so no one bats an eye when people very publicly joke about their drunken shenanigans, but since weed didn't really become part of the culture until the 1950s—and because Mexican immigrants used to smoke it, it still carries a stigma. Realistically, both are perfectly fine to use in moderation.
I met this girl on Tinder and we immediately hit it off. We share the same interests and have good chemistry. I deleted my social media accounts after hurting myself skiing and we exchanged phone numbers and have been talking every day, pretty much all day, since.
I feel very comfortable talking to her, we're both excited to meet, but I'm a little nervous because I've never met up with someone I talked to on a dating app before. Our relationship already feels intimate even though we haven't met in person. Just thinking about how to go about greeting her at the door causes me a little bit of anxiety. We're already so close, I want my physicality to reflect this when we meet.
She's 20, I'm 23. She lives with three of her friends in a house at a neighboring college town. She invited me to hang out at her place after she gets out of her night class. We might go to dinner, depending on whether she has the energy to do so. (We both have very busy schedules and very much want to meet.)
I saw this article about a Fez physical release a thought about Phil Fish for the first time in a long time. I used to follow him on Twitter, but after he cancelled Fez 2 I stopped seeing his tweets.
I am one of those people that always vote for Team Slayer BR. I just think it's the most balanced and competitive. I get how it might be less fun, like taking items out of Super Smash, but it just stuck with the player base.
