The article's assumption that the core demographics (of men 20-34 let's say) are not foregoing their basic needs is flawed -- not only are most of them living in much smaller spaces than they were before, they are also less likely to have children to support(which is a basic need for most people) for a bunch of reasons most of which have nothing to do with either video games or the preference of young men. Largely, young men need less money even for their basic everyday consumption (and so they have more time to spend on leisure). This is to a lesser extent true of young women (which are not discussed in the article even though their participation is also lowered -- are they playing video games too? Maybe those mobile games? Are there Facebook games still today?).
