Wired calls it like it is?

The average gamer, far from being a teen, actually is a 35-year-old man who is overweight, aggressive, introverted and … often depressed.

You know it’s funny because it’s true — overweight, aggressive and introverted. No wonder he’s depressed!  If only you could quest for endorphins. Or a +12 vest of sunlight resistance.

Jim McGregor, an analyst at In-Stat, noted that his concern isn’t just with gaming but with social networks, as well.

“My issue is that it’s not just gaming. It’s social networking. It’s the Web in general,” said McGregor. “We’ve gained so much, but still it puts people in front of a computer screen for hours on end. It gives Americans just another reason to be fat, dumb and lazy.”

Move over TV, we have a new scapegoat for our fat, ignorant, lazy asses.
