> One of my friends is in an office environment where they play Quake III for an hour a day. This perk is actually a mandatory bonding session

I've been a gamer for most of my life, but this would horrify me as a perk as it's completely exclusionary (which backs up your point)

Imagine being the employee that doesn't play games, it's like mandatory doing office sports

"Imagine being the employee that doesn't play games..."

Even worse, imagine being the employee who is a veteran with PTSD, or the employee who was a refugee from a war zone like Bosnia who associates the sound of gunfire with their parents being killed.

Yeah, exactly. And gaming in particular definitely has a lot of the same demographic skewing that SV is trying to move past, so things like this don't help with those efforts.
