No, 10% of users who have ever played one of these games. Or a single active editor who at some point "plays games and nothing else".
Sorry, to clarify what I meant : If you look at the people who 'actively' play wikigames, however you define those games and that description, I think that most of them will always be active contributors elsewhere on-wiki, who are blowing off steam. That seems fine to me.
If 10% of these 'active' players, at any point, are *not* also editors and contributor, but are addicts "from the gaming ghetto" who can't get enough, then -- even though some of these addicts may be reformed and become good users, and even though they aren't directly hurting the development of the project -- we may have a problem.
If even a single active editor falls into the clutches of the ghetto-dwellers, and stops editing movie stubs for love of wikigames, then too we have a problem.
