Altough many user have already addressed most of the good and the bad of videogames, I feel like I must share my mind.
Videogames are an integral part of my life. They are my main hobby. I play them, I design them and I develop them. They are my main medium and form of art.
I like them for exploring new worlds. To have a safe place to interact with stuff, poke them and see what they do. To experience larger than life stories. And sometimes some tiny really intimate ones.
It's escapism, I know. But I usually escape to places where it would be impossible for me to go, or to be people I will never be.
To end this, I'll leave you with my favourite gaming add, the one that really sums up what I feel about this beautiful, expansive and still young medium:
