There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing games. I'll bet a lot of the people "in your world" also do crosswords or play Mahjong or bridge once in awhile.

What surprised me was the number of people who only mentioned puzzles, board games and the like...with no mention of taking classes or attempts to use their brain power for learning or making art or music.

Maybe because they were replying to the OP's first post which asked who played online games, but didn't ask for all types of brain stimulating activities in which people engage.
