Personally, I use video games as an escape. It soothes me to an extent where I don't take into account the outside world, and I'm happier for it. People wonder why I play video games so frequently, and it's mostly because of Nintendo and willingness to be the same.
Nintendo never strayed away from their bread and butter. They don't let people guide their game direction. They've always put in hard work to make their image, which is very respectable. It seems like today's day and age where everyone wants to be heard, and everyone feels the need to say something, no matter how utterly stupid it is, whether it's right or left, it just seems unavoidable. And yet after 15 years of playing their games, Nintendo hasn't been influenced by outsiders, giving me something familiar to latch onto.
