This habit is quite tolerable by the population in general while it is a child's distraction, a little less acceptable if you are young or adolescent, until you become reproached, disapproved, criticized and even rejected if you are an adult, and who label these people as immature, irresponsible, foolish or low-minded, without vision of the future or that does not define priorities.
Although there are exceptions, this is not entirely true, as many of these players have (I include myself) more than well defined their priorities, we are wives, husbands, mothers and fathers who simply find our distraction in the games. This also applies to cartoons, animes, manga and even animated movies.
Exceptions
In general, this happens to men, since the majority of the video player population is constituted by them, however, the girls that belong to this group, we are even more criticized, since apart from that they underestimate us as players, we have the additional criticism, quite macho, where they say that we have to be women of the house, that we should be washing, ironing, cooking or tending the children but NEVER playing, it is worth mentioning that these things we certainly do but playing is a Plus.
We can also be confused by the stereotype, obviously created to draw the attention of men as the alleged players ... !!

KAYANE and Daigo Umehara "The Beast" Both Professional Street Fighter Players!
Here I leave a post that I did a couple of years ago referring to the topic, this came out after a normal day, common and current at work, where a co-worker, talking with his friends and with me present, says that people who play as adults are "TONS literally speaking" that were not one of my best days, so I fell fatally the comment and when I arrived at my house I made this publication in my account as a player.
TRANSLATION: It makes me laugh mixed with rage the people who say that the Gamers, that is, those who play "NINTENDO" even as adults are BRAINLESS and IMMADURE. I'm worth NOTHING, what people do with their time, if they want to spend all their money on a Rumba, fine, be happy, but not so Gross as to think that even games are making the Frog cross the street. Please...!
A large number of people responded to this comment in my opinion, of course, they are people who also play, however, there was a professional comment about it which I want to share.
TRANSLATION: Adult play means that you love and even that inner child that you have for life with you remains, and by accepting it and letting it flow makes you more aware in your adult stage, in all areas of your daily life, in addition to the way a centered, relaxed, sociable, affectionate, intelligent, cheerful, mischievous, fun and able to resolve situations of deep decision making, admirable of my part.
This person is very close to me, but never in his life have liked the games in any of its variations, however, I was surprised that this Psychotherapist in Gestalt made me a comment about it, placing his professional contribution to the case.
In this world there are infinity of personalities that have completely different tastes, preferences, abilities and interests, as I have always said, do everything you want while not bothering or affecting others.
Thank you very much for reading me.
Successes to all!
