First off you fucking fanboy I say "whatever the hell you do when youre having fun" you dont have to smile. Second you said "Why games should be fun" are you fucking stupid!? Why the hell do you play a game then? The majority of people who play games play them because theyre fun if you can give me a better reason why people play game than tell me. And I doubt you can so if YOU play games for any other reason you are damn sad.

It's actually been said again and again in different articles after polling several gamers that the primary reason anybody plays games is for escape. So maybe for you the primary reason is fun, but that's because having fun is your way of escape. I'm not saying escape is a bad thing. For some it's a way to relax. For some it's a way to delve into a stimulating fantasy world or a stimulating puzzle that they don't face in real life. It's a way to escape work and develop a new skill set that you can use to gain rewards and acceptance in a fantasy world, all while sitting on your ass.
The 2nd most popular reason people play games is for the sense of reward/accomplishment when you win.
Hell I'll even go so far as to say that the goal of all art is to escape and experience something new/different/fantastic. That's why some artists dislike realism and even refuse to call it an art form.
Also, you should work on doing multiple quotes per post so you don't have to post 5 times in a row to respond to everything at once.
