This means you could install all three games once per day literally every day for ~7 years before you wear out the drive.
One hour of 4K video is roughly 25GB. You could load nearly 15,000 hours of videos — that's 24 hours a day every second for over 600 days.
So yeah, it'll last you a long, long time as a regular windows/Linux boot drive. Be realistic about your usage. This is an amazing price for a great SSD.
5 YR warranty is a plus. QLC NAND makes it cheaper but lower endurance. For general use it's a great deal. Speeds are very respectable for the price. In for a couple. Thanks OP!
I don't expect a $65 1TB SSD to be a 5-star market overperformer, but given that the speeds are actually pretty good and has a 5 year warranty from an US company and good reliability, I'll take "meh".
Here's a Tomshardware.com review where they give it a 4 star rating and the "cons" are of no real importance:

Seems better than "meh" for $65.

Max write on this drive is 2500 MB/s while it is 3200 MB/s on the SK Hynix.
The SK Hynix P31 Gold is more power efficient and it runs cooler. It is literally THE NVME drive for laptops bar none. Other drives may be faster under ideal conditions but once thermal throttling kicks in in a laptop housing those ideal numbers will never be seen.
If you just need a drive for storage and don't care about write speeds and you have adequate cooling I guess this could be a deal. Or if you are refurbishing an old laptop to resell this would work... better than a HDD.

Keep in mind QLC gets huge performance penalties as the drive starts to reach max capacity
endurance is plenty - check the endurance of the Samsung 840 Pro - which was a flagship SSD at one point, even the old 840 TLC Planar was calculated to last at 10.2 yrs with way less TBW, other posters also addressed the TBW in relative terms
Intel made SSD's like the 730 series since the MLC SATA days - some of the first 5yr wtys and rated for 70GB/day duty at the 240GB/480GB level. (enterprise level in those days)
As your drive fills up there will be fewer empty blocks to quickly write data to which is why performance degradation occurs since it takes 10x longer to erase data than write it
But you're correct, all drives degrade but QLC moreso

That said, this is a "high end" QLC drive if there is such a thing since it has both DRAM + SLC cache
