Everyone plays games for different reasons including using them as a way to connect socially, playing them to escape the real world, and enjoying succeeding in the challenges presented by them. What draws you to games (and by games I mean everything from duck-duck-goose to Blackjack to Half-Life)?
I personally gravitate toward each game medium for a different reason. I play games in the real world (like cards, board games, and sports) to have something fun to do with other people, and the bonus with some of those games is that there's exercise involved or an excuse to go outside. I play console games typically to burn time or, again, socialize with the people I'm around. I don't play mobile games often, but I definitely just use those as a mindless thing to do when I just want to relax. And I usually join and play browser games because they fit to my desire to procrastinate. I typically use them as a way to reward myself between unrelated tasks, and sometimes I just have some free time, so I use the characters or world in browser games as inspiration for something else like writing or drawing.
