No hate, no obligatory forced thing to make it SW worthy, just all around good feels.
Sure it's a sappy ass video, but it's the good kind of sappy, the kind of sappy I like to think we can all get behind to a certain extent. So this thread is simple, it's as easy can be: why do you game?
Why is it that after the recent political shit, or the dumbing down of games, or this indie movement, or publishers trying to butt **** us, or what have you, what is it that continues to get you to still playing video games. Do you still love em, or are they just a time kill these days?
I'll keep mine simple in that initial when I was a kid it was escapism for me, and as I grew older it became about being a student of games in a way. In the sense that I love breaking down a game, getting to know the psychology and design philosophy of how a game is made up, and how it becomes nuanced and satisfying. It's why I gravitate more towards games built around expression and deeper gameplay systems as I grow older, as opposed to being turned away by the learning curve. Though you know Mario is still dope.
