I view it similarly to any other varied hobby. If you like to cook you can either choose to cook American food all the time or you can branch out and try different styles.

Although, the difference is that hunger and food are pretty constant in relation to each other where as there are just masses of video games. But I think the principle is close enough :)

The problem with this comparison is that an average meal doesn't take upwards of 20 hours to prepare. For someone working full-time, completing a game can be a large time investment.

Generally I play games maybe 2-3 hours a week max due to the double whammy of having a family and working at a startup :) This means for the average game it might keep me busy for a few months at a time. DF on the other hand...
