> Don't think we'd have as many videogames, but then again, we would have time to play, which I would argue is more valuable than games.

Would we have fewer video games? If all our basic needs were met and we had a lot of free time, more people might come together to create games together for free.

I mean, look at how much free content (games, stories, videos, etc) is created now, when people have to spend more than half their waking hours working for a living. If people had more free time, some of them would want to make video games, and if they weren’t constrained by having to make money, they would be open source, which would make it even easier for someone else to make their own game based on the work.
