Solving hard math problems is a prerequisite for those video games.

While we are in a good spot right now. I'm convinced that we need a lot more progress to really make the synthesized simulations / games that I see in my imagination.

Hardware, algorithms, and architecture all have huge room for improvement.

Hard math problems are far harder and far less useful than the math of computer hardware and software.

I don’t fundamentally disagree with your attitude, but then, number theory ended up being pretty useful after about a couple of thousand years of art for art’s sake.
