    Not sure what you mean. People like me (40+ male) are a huge segment and plausibly spend much more time in games than movies and music. By revenue games are possibly bigger than movies and music combined (global revenue). Not everyone needs to like games buy many do and the industry revenue is quite massive compared to any other entertainment.

      Still perceived as 'geeky waste of time' and 'unhealthy obsession'. Just an economically successful one.
