Must point out that this essay was published in 2006. World of Warcraft was big 2002-2006 yes? So @jnod4 is mistaken about having grown up on the good old days.
Also mistaken, as you point out, that any such experience can be generalized to the rest of a generation.
I'm not much of a gamer at any stage of life but I feel like there is a ton of modding going on and there are certain games that are very well known for it. I'm sure there are opportunities to get into stuff for younger people.
Tho I do agree with the general sentiment that slick interfaces and anti-hacking legislation really does us all a disservice.
