D65 white point for all content?

For example if I were to be watching Youtube videos or playing older video games on my TV.
I'd also like to know if on Sony OLEDs (A80L in my case) one can have multiple custom picture settings e.g one for D65 content and another for the content that doesn't suit it (if such content exists) which in my case would be not as blue as default but probably somewhere in the middle.

Generally if it's done properly it will be set to a standard. But if you're trying to match one creator's personal preference then it's like pressing the random button when creating an avatar for a video game and hoping it will match someone else's.

In most cases try and get your equipment as close to reference as possible and don't worry about others. If you're not used to the correct colour temperature then it will look weird, your brain has just enjoyed the cooler temps and doesn't like change.

Does this apply for video games as well? as in older games from the pre-7th gen era on pretty much all platforms.
Perhaps I should ask this question elsewhere since this website/forum is mostly dedicated to home video.

It's impossible to say, but I'd stick to the correct settings and go from there. I have looked into it and couldn't find a definitive answer.

Not surprised. Video game people and movie people tend to have different priorities and preferences. In my case I happen to be both.
I would say most gamers, particularly those who are into current-gen gaming would want more of a "punchy and vibrant" boosted/inaccurate look.
So even if the D65 mastering standard has always existed for gaming or has for many generations I wouldn't be surprised if gamers prefer the default blue light cast. Or maybe they're just conditioned to it as many are and don't typically look into this sort of thing being more preoccupied with motion clarity and refresh rates when it comes to researching display tech.
Thanks for looking into it for me anyway. Perhaps I'm over complicating something which will turn out to have a simple answer.
