Yes I agree; I didn't make my point very clearly. For sure there are games that allow for creative expression - I myself have spent many hours building houses in Rust for example - but not all games offer that nor set out to do so, so guitar vs game is not necessarily a useful comparison. To put it another way, you can pick up Godot for free, but I would expect a whole lot more opportunities for enjoyment using that tool than any single game could deliver, since you could in theory use it to build whatever you want. A guitar is a gateway to all of music, whereas No Man's Sky is a gateway only to itself.
