I think there's an important qualifier missing here - Adam Carolla is NOT a gamer.
As a long time fan of the radio show Loveline, I've grown to appreciate and respect Adam Carolla deeply. He's incredibly witty and generally gives great advice.
In this instance though, he's more or less just an old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn. He has said a few times over the years that he doesn't play videogames, and as such, he's just blaming gaming without really understanding it.
I remember him talk about getting Medal of Honor Rising Sun as he's a huge war buff, but then being confused by the controls and giving up before he even got out of the lower decks of the USS Arizona.
