    When I was younger, I played multiplayer games because

    1. I wanted to be good at something because I wasn’t good at anything in real life
    2. Because of reason 1, losing meant failing at life as the game now became my identity
    3. My friends played it

    There’s a common joke about LoL players hating the game, but they also hate themselves too much to stop playing it.

      I had to get a bit older to finally understand this but you are pretty much exactly describing people I know. We played dota 2 in college and there were certainly some emotions going on in those matches sometimes.
