There are people who grew up with game but are well rounded and sociable. It depends entirely on the person and the type of environment they grew up in.

I don't think that's what the image is suggesting. More like the kid might be culturally "out of touch" with their generation's gaming because they play old games instead.

Like, you know, everyone's talking about Fortnite and Brawl Stars and whatever mobile game is trending right now and they're like, yesterday I got Fierce Deity in Majora's Mask.

It's a bit silly a concern honestly. They'll take whatever they like in the end, and if that makes them the weird kid, well, that's how they are, and they'll survive. Been there, done that.
