At a glance, video games may seem to serve the simple purpose of mindless entertainment with no relevance beyond that. In truth, video games are actually able to explain several sociological concepts. Video games are a massively shared hobby to the point where its own culture exists. Social integration is another key aspect of gaming. Many choose to play role-playing in games in which they essentially live another life outside of the real world.
