Lel, that's a stupid question. I think those who play would agree that video games possess many positive as well as negative impacts on the individual, and further influences his actions within society. I don't want to write a bloody essay but, the reason why people play video games consist of; it's fun, used for entertainment purposes, feel a sense of relief, to gain social skills (not face to face), could be used for teaching and training purposes. Dude, there are so many reasons as to why people play video games. That's your opinion (even parents ask this question), so you just stay away from video games, and the world will be a better place. Thanks, come again bai.
