GICG039: Could being a video game designer eventually make me hate playing games?

This week's question is from Anthony, who asks "One concern I have is, what if being a game designer makes me hate gaming? A friend of mine said that he has talked to developers and they have told him that it’s like eating your favorite food 20 times a day. Is that true?"
