    (Some) videogames are just another way to consume stories. their interactive nature makes your imput as a player matter, and if the story is good, (like with any other medium) you get invested in the characters, the world and what happens to those as you progress through the story.

      Some

      Ok. Maybe some.

      And still I’d rather invest my emotions into real life than in a means of killing time.

        Connecting to characters in media is a great way to connect to your own feelings. It sounds like you’re treating it like it takes away from reality somehow, but all media is a reflection of reality. People have a reaction to it because it connects to something in their life. If you haven’t found things that resonate with you that’s cool, but looking down on others for being emotionally open is unnecessary.
