Sounds right to me. Without being able to rely on flashy visuals and low-latency so much, games would've had to be somewhat more strategic and intellectual to sell (although I imagine graphics would eventually catch up due to its fitness for parallel processing). Even if brain rotting visual spectacles were just pushed 7 years down the line, they still would probably have a more sophisticated flavor that might be cemented with time (e.g. this counterfactual TikTok might have given users much more direct control over their feed algorithm).
