I’m Gen X, I’ve noticed the problem is more with the Boomer generation than “kids”. My kids friends all between the ages of 10-16 tend to play the pins a lot more having way more fun than my parents, uncles and aunts. They tend to say the same things about it, “I don’t understand how this works!”, “It has too many rules”, “it’s too fast”, “you kids don’t know how to just sit and chat”. Where the kids just come and play for hours(some are getting pretty good). I think this is another argument meant for the millennials, Gen Z, and the boomers.
I’m just pretty much here shrugging my shoulders and saying “Whatever “.
