"Video games are for kids". I heard that a lot in my childhood. But this is a totally fake argument, since we have a lot of adults and even older gamers in our community. And no, games aren't "garbage that only teach how to kill each other, since there are no games about love" (You may not get the reference, but brazilian people will).

But, why do we play video games?

As for myself, I'm someone who enjoy stories. Since my childhood, I like to play games because of the adventures you can live in the simulation. I think that's why I love RPGs like Final Fantasy and adventure games like Telltale stuff. For me, it's like a movie, but you have control of the events, so you are the main character.

There are other reasons why I play games. With a friend, you can have lots of fun in fighting games for example. Part of my teens where spend playing Smash Bros. with my friends, and we had a lot of laughs.

Yeah, I play because every game has a world where you can live an adventure as the protagonist.

What about you?
