Why do people become so obsessed with video games

Because they are losers! Simple as that. They are disgusted with their reality and with that I mean the lives they've created for themselves so they seek distance from it in the virtual reality that video games create. I can spend a lot of time going into further detail but I'd rather go and study "The pure theory of law" from Hans Kelsen or maybe kiss my grandmother... There are precisely 1,000,000,000,000,001 things that are better for the human being than playing video games.
