The fact that you can bring your drink to your seat at rugby games highlights it's a game for the snobs. The 'plebs' i.e normal people can't be trusted to drink responsibly at soccer games.
I was born into a GAA family, who liked soccer but hated rugby. Rugby fans strike me as people, who prefer a glass of wine over a pint of stout or lager tbh!
 
….not sure why grown-ups have a computer games thread.
I think people of all sorts of ages like the computer games nowadays. I like to do the occasional bit of it myself when i have the time.

There's worse things i could be doing i think, like blowing all my money on drink or losing it all on gambling! I think people of an older generation, when they think computer games they think of ping pong and the likes.

As much money go into the making of the modern games as they do movies. I think in the modern era, playing computer games has very much emerged as a legitimate adult pastime imo.

It's the story they tell for me for a lot of games.
Modern classics like The Last Of Us (which is being turned into a HBO series), God Of War, Red Dead Redemption etc etc.
I love gaming, have done since my brother gave me a C64.
You're bang on the money, as far as hobbies go, it's an entertaining and innocent pastime.

I've been gaming since the early 90's, from my Nintendo NES right up to now with the Xbox Series S. I gave the whole PC "master race" thing a try as well, but i still prefer console gaming to PC gaming.

Horses for courses mate, I'm on my PC right now playing the CoD campaign, in a couple of weeks I'll be lying on my couch playing the new God Of War on my 65" OLED enjoying the experience.

I was lucky i got into video gaming when i did. The jump into 3d gaming at the start of the Playstation era was amazing really.

People like us were around to see the technology and industry itself develop into what it is today.

Sadly original Playstation games have aged very badly though. Gaming as a pastime, started to become more fashionable from around the start of the Playstation era onwards.

Spot on mate, the gaming industry, for me at least, was in a slump for a while with only the regular stalwarts like Nintendo churning out worthwhile IP's. Even SEGA crapped the bed with the Saturn and never really recovered.

Sony with the PS1 brought it back into the mainstream culture with games like WipeOut (I remember this game playing on TV's in clubs in Liverpool) and it's just grown exponentially from there with the likes of Microsoft throwing their considerable weight in.

It's now, rightfully, recognised as a regular means of entertainment along with cinema and TV series and outsells a lot of it.

It's a shame that some still hold some sort of weird vendetta against it, but meh.

Some people see an adult playing video games as the sign of ultimate failure. Insufferable Irish tv personality Ray D'Arcy alluded to that before. I disagree who's the bigger problem here someone playing Elden Ring, or someone mugging a 90 year old granny to fund their drugs habit?

There's bigger problems and bigger evils in the world, than video games and the people who play them. You then have people saying that this game needs to be banned and that games needs to be banned etc, but jesus like i never heard anyone at the time saying that Reservoir Dogs should be banned!
