Gamers: What are some common misconceptions about videogames that non gamers (i.e. parents/teachers/grandparents) firmly believe in? If applicable, were you able to change their opinion?

It is self-evident to non-gamers that games played on a cellphone are a social experience, but games played on a PC or console are anti-social. That's because phones are devices you carry outside and use to talk to people. PCs and consoles are done immobile, at home, on a fixed screen. As I explained to my wife, the opposite is true. Mobile games typically involve focusing entirely on a little screen to the detriment of everyone around you, playing a very solitary experience. And you're more likely to play it in public where other people will feel actively ignored. PC and console games, however, generally have huge communities of players who interact all the time.
