Because the wealthy need to remind us how much free time they really have because they don't actually fucking work or contribute anything at all of value to the world.
The first thing I wanted to comment was "Was this written by Elon Musk's ghost~~writer~~gamer?"
Real answer: Because the games industry is bigger than the film industry, in terms of total valuation.
I can't wrap my head around this comment. You think playing video games is a wealthy people hobby? Or are you saying the author of the article is a wealthy person who doesn't work? And he has to remind us that becuase that's apparently something rich people do all the time that I missed? Or is it that only wealthy people have time to read these articles? Did I miss elon musk promoting path of exile or something what does he have anything to do with this?
The real answer doesn't make sense neither, the article makes no mention of how much money the game has made, it's just a surface level review.
As for the real the answer: I'm assuming what they mean is, since gaming is such a popular medium (which can be seen from how much money the industry makes) it makes sense otherwise unrelated outlets would have articles about it.
