Ever played BTDD? That shit is NOT FAIR! Play SSBB... man, Snake can hit you WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING YOU! That is so FUCKING unfair! Maybe someone who wished that they could do this programmed the game a certain way for a sense of escapism.
You could say the same for about anything. Funny, I don't have as much time to play them but I still love video games. I have high standards as to what I frequent, but nonetheless.
Addiction to video games could very well be escapism, but to play them is simple to enjoy whatever it is that you're doing. To some it looks unproductive and lame so they are adverse to it, but we gamers know that we appreciate the control and the artistic vibe that we see.
In a sense that may be so, wishing you could do differently, like, I always wanted to fly, jump high, run fast and use psychic powers, but that could be said about watching TV or reading books.
