I hate to say it, but I actually think that part of the statement is correct - just not in the way he wants people to imagine it.
To be clear, I'm not saying that people want to be paid to play games. That's an incredibly easily disproven notion. I'm talking about feeling like they're valued by a game. Games respecting the players' time in ways that don't equate to "here's stuff for playing our game" but are more "here's why you'll enjoy this game and why it's not crap"? Yeah, I can see that being a major factor in people playing them.
Did Ohanian mean that? Obviously not, and I hate that I have to deliberately misinterpret him in order to get something out of this. But the core idea as stated isn't wrong.
