Gaming is a larger market than Hollywood. Maybe it becomes a distraction for Nvidia, but someone will step in. That might actually be a good thing and why Nvidia wont do that: it creates an under served market in which newcomers can cut their teeth.

Much of the gaming market is phone games however, not traditional consoles or PCs.

Edit: about half in fact! The rest is shared between the other traditional gaming types.

This feels so insane to me, because I don't think I know anyone who plays phone games

This probably includes little silly games like Candy Crush, and (maybe) others that seem more like "paper" games like Sudoku, Wordle, Connections, etc. Many play those, especially the second bucket.

Most of the publishers make money on their pc and console games, mobile users barely pay for games although they do pay for microtransactions stuff

I think we would see an increased push towards cloud gaming. That's probably what Nvidia would want.
