Why do people play games and not live real life?
There are fans of car simulators who buy steering wheels, expensive video cards, VR helmets in order to participate in virtual races. Why don't they do it in reality? If you like driving a car so much, buy it and work as a taxi driver, you will also earn money. Some people drive Euro Truck Simulator 2, but they could drive a real truck. Why don't they do it?
There are fans of sports games like FIFA 2018. What's the problem with buying a ball, going to the nearest stadium and playing football or basketball with other people for real?
There are MMO fans who spend months pumping up a character, doing stupid work, like “bring 5 tailsâ€. Why not do the same in real life. You can go to work, get a job as a packer, for example, communicate with people, upgrade skills, gain knowledge in reality, do everything the same as in MMOs and get real benefits from it. But gamers don't.
Many people watch porn in VR, although they could fuck real women.
If fans of shooters. They, instead of shooting at the monitor, could just join the army or play airsoft and shoot with real weapons. Etc.
But people are fleeing reality into the virtual world. Why?

Not if it's not a professional sport, but only at the amateur level.
Yeah, it's very "cool" to just die because of politicians.
And here I agree &)

So a virtual car in any way will not give you the feeling of driving a real one, ale &)
But I have no sense of the ball.
Great, now it remains only to explain what is so interesting in playing a football simulator -) In real life, chasing the ball has at least real benefits, but what's the point in virtual football then? This is me to the fact that football *is* available in real life, but, for example, shooting from Mass Effect or battles from the Witcher you will not find in real life.
compared the incomparable
Here I agree, you can not compare real life with the fantasy world of RPGs, it's just ridiculous.

Reality is ordinary, games, each time something new. But I didn’t fence myself off from the real world, games are 30% of my life.
Because in games everything is easier than in reality. In reality, you can’t restart the save, you can’t beat anyone in the face, you can’t fly dragons and incinerate cities. In games, you do not need to pay bills, go to work, feed and clothe your family ... well, in short, you get the idea ....
