yeah a hobby is something done in one's leisure time. gatekeeping a hobby would mean preventing people you don't in from engaging with that hobby.  if you just stick to a group of like minded people, and let normies play the games you consider not good enough/viable, and they become the majority fans of that hobby, then you didn't gatekeep the hobby. people you don't want enjoying the hobby are doing so.  if you had stated " you can gatekeep who you engage in a hobby with", then yeah i would agree. but the original argument was "gatekeep the hobby".
