I think we can keep the same term and socialize the term so it is more acceptable to those that might have a stereotype in their mind. Socialization via playing a game with friends goes back really far into human history I would imagine. Video based games are a different medium but the interactions are similar. It would be great for that journalist to do some deeper research on demographics of people playing games and if there are correlations with demographics and what types of games and platforms. I am going to guess there is a large untapped market for socialization capable games that aren't shooter/killer/conqueror types of games.
