Why is "videogame" a bad word?

[WizarDru]

No offense mi Amigo, but this is exactly the stuff I do not like about the new generation of gamers and games....It is nobodies fault, just the de-evolution of Role-Playing. I ran a game which the players had a time limit to gather the info they need and complete the quest....take a guess at the first 2 things i heard..

So, if I told you I heard the same sort of things 25 years ago, what then? This is not a new development, by any measure. I had players who did the same thing, they just didn't say +13 gather information, but that they had an 18 Charisma or 18 intelligence.
