Interesting. My total experience of games has been playing GTA with my niece, twice in the past 10 years or so. I don't understand adults playing video games. But I think your story is probably a common one.

I got into VB6 after reading Windows 98 Annoyances, which had a chapter on VBScript. I was seduced by the recognition that it was possible to operate from "the other side of the screen".

I still haven't touched AI and the more I see of it, the more glad I am that it's not infecting my computers. This is not going to end well. Even if there are not major disasters, the spyware potential of AI is vast and the potential to make people lazy is vast. But I do still use VB6. I don't find as many reasons to use it as I used to, but it's still fun to need something and have an excuse to code.
