Why People Love Games

People love computer/console games because they are cool (innovative and latest techonology/culture/ideas). They teach us things. They increase our self-esteem. They are highly interactive. They are good for mental wellness.

Contrayal to common peasant beliefs, games teach us more than education. Because games does not have teach 1 subject at a time. It teaches multiple subjects together at the sametime, which is how lessons should always be done. It teaches us to see things the artistical way, the dynamic way, the colorful way, as opposite to grey world with just combination of 26 set symbols plus punctuations. World of Warcraft, for example, has taught me English through reading hundreds of beautifully written quest logs, communication skills through in game trade channel chat, and math abilities through mana calculations for abilities.

Games increase our self-esteem. They tell us what we did right, as oppose to what we did wrong. Games aren't here to judge us! Games aren't here to label us! Games are our friends and are here to be with us and work with us each step of the way. Games will not ignore us when we ask questions. Games will not over-lecture when we wanna skip certain parts. Though, just like a poor education, a game that is poor quality can have a total different scenario here.

Games are cool. They are the latest stuff. They are fresh, they are new, they are young and full of energy, unlike secondary education. The 3D engine most games currently use far surpass the one the search engine king Google uses. They are up-to-date, they represent how we feel. They represent us! Not them, not those guys, they represent us. The youth, the future generation, the people that will stiffen and stronghold humanity one day.

Games are also good for mental wellness. Like any biological substance, our brain decays fast, and if we don't stimulate every part of it, it will degenerate and thus we become dumber. To prevent this, the best way is to play challenging games that stimulate our visual, hearing, pattern matching, memory recalling, storing files parts of our brains.
