I sort of agree. But there is clearly a potential flip-side: we quite likely get to be post-scarcity on a lot of things (modulo fairness of distribution and absence of tyranny), including: customized art and stories, scientific and mathematical discoveries, medical care, plus any sort of economic goods that depend more on knowledge and technological inputs than material resources. So the video games will be awesome. We might even be somewhat less constrained on material resources, if there are rapid technological improvements in reusable energy, environmental remediation after mining, asteroid mining, or things like that.
