interesting post. As someone who writes about games (and some fiction too) i still find some time to play them. But I'm looking at more meaningful ones or useful VR apps these days. Although you can achieve things like what you describe, most people can find if they can limit gameplay where possible, they can have more energy for other things. I think it's about content, and keeping balance. Some games can still be stimulating /inspiring stories etc that take us into new places - and even learn new things.
