The average age of a PokemonGo gamer is about 35, according to its developer, for example.
But games are a strawman argument anyway. Even if there were exactly zero smartphone games in existence, there would still be hundreds of thousands of apps out there that people use every day. And the thing is: hardly any two people use the same ones. Sure, most use Facebook and Google Maps and Gmail/Outlook, but every industry and occupation has a bunch of apps specific to them that few other people will care about. Whether you're a doctor, a bartender, a musician, a landscaper, or whatever, there are apps to help you do your job - and many millions use these apps - even if they also play games. BB doesn't have these apps, and never will. Nor does BB have any robust cloud services to offer - and for a few here, that might be just fine, but for the vast majority of people, cloud services are a revolution that they don't want to go without.
Dismissing the value of apps because some kids play some games is really just being in denial of the situation as a whole.
