It's getting there. Gaming used to be a pretty middle to lower class hobby, but now with the ever increasing prices of hardware, software, subscriptions, etc. the bar has been raised on who's allowed to play and who can't.
That depends on what you mean with gaming. You can relatively easy get a raspberry pi for under $100 and play everything PS2 and older. Thats literally thousands of great games. Then with little time game streaming ight very well become decent enough for anyone to use and you can use Xbox Cloud or Nvidia.
Whenever a someone young in my family gets old enough to play games I've bought an emulation handheld like the RG350 (although this is my personal handheld driver and I usually buy something under $60 for gifts) and put dozens of games and seen them just having insane fun. And I semi-regularly have added more games to a few of my relatives that had kept their handheld in shape.
Sure eventually once they're no longer 6-12 they begin asking for the latest and "greatest".
