Quite the variety, most of which Ive also experienced.
But your original claim simply doesnt apply to most of these (MMORPGs are exception). What I suspect is that the barrier for reaching "flow" or analogous competitive states has gotten too high for _you_ for whatever reason.
In face of this you've constructed an absurd reality to justify your feelings where its the children with infinite time mucking it up.
The truth is, many adults still tap into the competitive spirit in spite of the barriers youve folded to, which I do agree exist, but always have.
