OMG, imagine he spent the 8k hours learning to program or play the piano or walking across the country. I’m not into games that much even though I’ve played a bit. From the outside this looks like a sad way to spend our time on this planet.

Others would say spending 8k hours learning to program or programming is sad.

Just do what makes you happy, don't judge other peoples hobbies.

On a side note: I'm actually not sure why games specifically still have such a negative connotation in a day and age where most people spend more time doomscrolling social media or watching reality TV slop every day.
