I see where you’re coming from but idk if I agree.

Gaming has been one of the few consumer hobbies that has improved over the last few decades.

Sure, companies are greedy, but just like music, we are living in a golden age of access, such a huge library is available and no more console exclusives. A steam deck will give you generations of content.

Gaming is also a lot more accepted as an adult now. And honestly, so much of everyone’s time is spent on a phone that it’s pretty easy to replace that with a handheld that goes on standby instantly.

I think your talking about abundance of free time, which yeah I agree adulthood has no mercy for, but ironically gaming is one of the most effective hobbies if you have little time.
