"I don't play games for fun"

Getting burned out on games isn’t something many of us struggle with, but in this article on the subject, I found this quote which I found fascinating:

The last thing I do is play games for fun. They stress me out. And that’s a big part of the reason why I like them, strangely enough. When I get home after eight hours of sitting on my butt updating a spreadsheet, I need some excitement. That’s something video games can provide.
