Video gaming’s post-pandemic problem isn’t that players choose to watch TikTok instead of buy a AAA game, or subscribe to OnlyFans instead of buying a PlayStation; it’s that on a Friday evening, players are placing a growing share of their time and spend elsewhere.

The real problem is people going outside.
