I'm an old millennial and Ive usually preferred games to movies.
I think one reason it's hard for me to watch movies (or even books) is having no control over the narrative. Writing in a lot of TV/movies are just too, well, stupid. Even if a game is bad, you can at least have fun with cheats/mods or having your own objectives. Movies/TV your stuck with their plot as a bystander to a story.
Old millennial here, too. For me it's that video games have gotten too exhausting for me. Simply consuming, without decisions, is what I prefer after a workday ๐ด
Oh I'm not playing new games anymore. WoW burned me of that years ago (shadowlands refugee). I'm playing single player/local co-op stuff only. Bg3, modded Minecraft/sims 4/cyberpunk etc.
