I believe the opposite, but for similar reasons. 🤪

When are young people supposed to socialize, get married, and have kids, if they’re working all the time? The guy playing Elden Ring is absolutely exhausted and is spending what little time he does have to recharge his batteries. It’s a symptom of his needs not being met.

Are there some people who will just play more? Sure. But we can’t reasonably extrapolate that a completely burned-out person will stay that way with sufficient time for self care and relationships.

(I’ve been both of these people)
