There is a big difference between. Being purposefully drawn into a video game and focusing your time and efforts on developing a skill or talent for a sport
Mainly that video games are designed by somebody ells with. The sole purpose of keeping you playing!
That's an addiction that has been fostered in an individual by a collusion of people working on behalf of an organisation entirely focused on the profit involved in keeping you playing. Its not addiction its manipulation
Artistic expression usually requires developing a skill or talent. A talented sports player can be recognized as displaying artistry
In my opinion there is no artistic expression to be found in playing video games so I think Harry called it right on this occasion although I doubt for the right reasons
