He does.

Later in his post, he generalized to all media but keeps the details video game specific.

Basically, I feel like his point is that we've put creators, of all forms of media, on such a high pedestal that we're neglecting the mundane things that keep life running smoothly.

Basically, a job/career version of social media making us all lonelier, I guess. Everyone wants to be a creator like everyone wants to be an influencer...

King Solomon felt the same way 3000 years ago.

He does.

> Spotify now gets over 60000 new songs a day. Amazon now has millions of books. My country has over 550 scripted TV shows in production.

It's a weird point to make, and not really supported properly.

The point has been made about books before, see, e.g. gwern: https://www.gwern.net/Culture-is-not-about-Esthetics

Or about movies! Although, to be fair, a similar mindset creeps in that field too: it ceases to be art, or moving stories, or mind-changing ideas from movie makers. Now it's all about content, and how much it is consumed.

I don't have data or facts to share, but I have a strong gut feeling that people who consider art (in a very broad meaning, including entertainment, games, music, etc) to be a commodity are not only missing out, they make the world a worst place to live in.

It's been done. There are too many books.
