In general complete devotion to the craft by constantly practicing like it is a habit and not just when inspiration strikes is essential.

One could argue this lack of devotion predates even the smartphone. Heck, I remember getting a Nintendo Entertainment System in the late '80s and then not going out biking or playing basketball as a result.

Ironically these days you might have a better chance making a living from playing video games compared to any physical activity.
