A translation question

筆者はミステリー小説との出会いにより本の世界にどっぷり浸かり、もうひとつの好物であるゲームでご飯を食 べてさせていただいている。

I'm not sure what do you mean by もうひとつの好物であるゲームでご飯を食べてさせていただいている。What is the connection between a game and eating?

[Uraki]

ご飯を食べる is a kind of Japanese idiom.
We have to get a money for eating.
In other words, we have to work for eating.
So, ご飯を食べる means "work（働く）".

I think he maybe a game creater.

Thank you very much Uraki san! It makes sense now.
