Video games are experiences. I feel like I live to experience different experiences. It's all the sources of entertainment media and art all crafted in one experience.

Not learning some skill isn't a big deal. There's a number of skills I have developed but then dropped for several years. Only to come back and feel like I have to start from scratch again. You then learn that not all of your time needs to be devoted to a skill that has limited value in return.

Video games can also be a passion to some.
