On my team at Blizzard we really did have "good off" time, in that it was dedicated to playing games. Any games: mobile games, the latest Call of Duty, classic Nintendo games on the 50" TV behind the bar in the break room, pool, volleyball. It amounted to more like 4% time than 20% time, but still, there was no expectation of people coming up with new products as a result of it. I do wonder of it was seen as an additional motivator to ensure people were getting their work completed on time and without needing to stay late working overtime... But I think it was probably just what it seemed like: a fun perk.
