Some, sure, but also a bit generalizing and unfair.

Story time..
Back in college I was into the music scene, hung out with musicians and got some positive reaction to some writing and talking I did on the subject. But that was all out of genuine passion and not for money or anything. As soon as I was asked to write formal reviews, I hated it and got bored. There was a chasm of quality between me wanting to write about something that made me think and feel strongly vs just being expected to deliver content.

Games are 100x worse than music in terms of time-wasting. Playing one mediocre triple A game is like listening to 60 mediocre albums.
That’s why the trick is only playing fun games! These days I barely have time for those, so I sure as hell won’t have time for mediocrity or worse. The biggest difference between the two is the amount of dedicated time is far greater with games or hell, pretty much any other medium besides music. Whenever I was swamped at work I would bring some of it home and do it after the kid went to bed, put on a pair of MDR-7506’s and catch up on a bunch of listening I’d been missing. It was kind of therapeutic, getting shit done while getting lost in the music as well.

Marvel's Midnight Suns - you can try claiming that's Tony Stark you got going on here, but all I see is Freddy Mercury. These eyes do not lies!
