Are you not expressing yourself creatively by screwing around and playing in a game? Maybe that's not as possible with the digital slot machine games that seem to be all mobile devices these days can support. I think the whole creation vs consumption thing is overblown, personally. You're not going to create things that are any good without first being a consumer of them. I would have never been interested in programming if I wasn't a PC gamer first, and dipped my toes in the water in my teens with modding.
