Five former heavy gamers shift more time to AI short dramas
TMTPost interviewed five former heavy gamers who now spend more time watching AI short dramas, citing easier access, lower commitment, stronger emotional payoff and fewer interruptions than games. The report says Red Fruit's core users overlap heavily with gamers and average daily use exceeds two hours, but provides no methodology or independent verification for that claim. Predictions that AI short dramas will reduce gaming engagement or spending remain unverified analyses based on a small set of personal accounts.
The interviews provide a concrete user-behavior signal that AI short dramas may compete with games for attention, while the lack of representative data limits conclusions about the broader gaming market.

AI短剧这种“电子泔水”，也配跟游戏比？
朋友拉张月入坑AI短剧时，她嗤之以鼻。“奶头乐”看多了降智，游戏哪怕低成本制作，也会打磨设定和美术，竞技的快感、组队开黑的乐趣，更是流水线内容复刻不了的。
然而，仅仅半年，她就真香了。《王者荣耀》已经退游三个月，《原神》任务也半个月没做，每天一有空闲，就打开短剧APP刷个不停。
张月的“叛变”，正是当下游戏行业暗潮涌动的一角。
