I play them because generally they are fun, Also at the moment, for the very title of the site you are on.

 

[AtticusSP]

I don't play Video Games to enjoy them,
I play them to show people online that I did.[/AchievementMentality]

I play games for a living. I'm a PC game reviewer for a gaming webzine.

Yes, I play for fun sometimes too...

Neither am I, I'm just constantly semi-bored...

Nice picture, although I wasn't actually correcting him, I was just using his post as a mold for my post...

To silence the voices in my head...

 

[Insomniac Gamer]

I play for a reason. that reason I'm not telling you. It's a back up if my education fails that's all I'll say.

 

[Kpt._Rob]

For various reasons. Sometimes it's to experience something I can't in real life. Sometimes it's for fun, sometimes it's with friends, sometimes it's literally escapism in order to forget life for a little while. And there are probably other reasons too, nothing's ever simple enough to dismiss it with one or two reasons is it?

 

[Ben Legend]

Beca---because im a loser with no friends, my family hates me, my Gf left me, and now i have no money. I play it to get away from life.

Happy now? ='(

Just kidding folks, its a fun hobby with friends. Simple as.

 

[SimuLord]

Short answer: Because I can.

Slightly longer answer: Because I like to build stuff and it's cheaper and less space-intensive than most building-based hobbies. I play city builders and the like.

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

Because I've got nothing better to do living in a small town in the middle of nowhere.
