I've been doing research for a term paper on the declining sales of Japanese games, and I just bumped into an article that seems rather incredible to me.

This was not what I was expecting to find, but it would explain EVERYTHING about why the Japanese game industry is in its current state. Can any escapists vouch for whether this "game bakkari" stigma is a major thing? Preferably with more reliable sources? And to everyone else, how do you feel about this article and the state of Japanese gaming in general?
