Indeed. Remember Robert Preston in "The Last Starfighter" back in the mid-80's?: "Are you delirious? Do you know how long it look to invent the games? To merchandise them? To get them in the stores by Christmas?"

"I am now willing to reconsider the worth of all those video games that started in the eighties."

I gotta quote for ya:

"I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets."

-Ronald Reagan (b. 1911) Statement, 8 August 1983. Quoted in: Reagan's Reign of Error, "Temptation of Pride"
