I’m having a butterfly effect moment thinking of this 
because there are a bunch of skill/hobby/interest trees that I started levelling up around the same time as gaming and either continued or discontinued in varying degrees (all to a lesser degree than those stemming from gaming).
I found gaming at a young age (6 or 7), and it’s one of the key catalysts that eventually led me to be involved in the tech industry and development overall, but alongside it, thanks to my environment, I found creative outlets around the same time. The first variants of those being poetry and music (choir life what what 
), which both then split off into creative writing in general and music production at a hobbyist level. I’d hazard a guess and say an easy offshoot of this was leisure reading. The other art variants included sketching and dancing.
I definitely don’t dance anymore, I’ve mostly abandoned sketching, I rarely write anymore in any significant way, but I do still produce music in some capacity, and I still read a crap ton.
It’s not hard for me to imagine myself in a universe where the lack of gaming leads me to a bigger investment in my creative side whether it’s the career I found myself in or in how I spend my leisure time. Maybe a Dee who’s actually a writer, musician, dancer, or even an illustrator or animator 
. The very same Dee would definitely be reading a lot more.
