Why would you wonder about preferring games? They present just a good a story as books or movies.

Games are expensive only if you buy a lot of them brand new.

When I first bought an xbox and a couple of used games, my bank account shot up by thousand dollars over the following months because I spent that time playing games instead of going out or buying new books and going to movies all the time.

Movies, now there's an expensive medium. I think they've become a lot more expensive than they used to be.

I admit to spending far too much on books. When I bought a console last year, my bank balance also went up. Games are cheaper than they seem at first, even compared to second hand books.

Movies are HELLA expensive.

This is one reason I don't go to the movies often (I don't think I've been in more than a year). Why spend $10 on a movie ticket that will entertain me for three hours when I could spend that $10 on a game that could potentially entertain me for 10, 20, 50, or even 100+ hours?

AYRT

Because many other mediums present good stories?

I have been reading the answers so far and I see many people who enjoy games for one reason or another that is related to the medium (interactivity and so on), but if OP cares mostly about story and characters, why games and not something else?


And no, games are one of the most expensive hobbies (unless we're talking about free games).
Even if you do get the games on sale, which can make them even cheap if you're in the right country, otherwise they end as just "less expensive", the price of most modern consoles rarely goes down that much and a PC with the right specs for gaming can be pretty expensive too.

If OP cares about a game's story and characters, they're going to want to experience that particular story and characters. Other mediums present good stories, but they may not be the stories that the OP wants to partake in at this exact moment? If I'm playing The Last Of Us because I'm interested in or care about the characters, dropping the game and watching The Walking Dead instead isn't going to scratch my itch.

+ interactivity plays a huge role in how you experience a character or story...

[(Anonymous)]

Because there's something about the format they like. Because video games present stories and characters in a different way than other media.

Because fuck, they just LIKE it. Why do you need a justification for someone liking something?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, sorry for asking. Next time I'll remember to shut-up, because how dare I to wonder about something that makes not sense for me.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not that you wondered about it, it's that you acted like the reasons people gave weren't good enough and started talking like there was something wrong with it.

I find some games (mostly rpg types) to be more engaging than book series, and in a way it's almost like an anime too. It's like three genres wrapped into one for me, and that's the appeal for me. And I like it because like some others have said, I can't always get into a book or anime but I can get into a game. I guess with some games you could always opt out of the common route if you hated it and go bad route, etc. So it's customizable. Unlike where some mediums there is not that kind of option, save for fandom works if you don't like the ending or end OTP.

Also unless you're one of those gamers that has to have the new stuff right away it can be cheap. I know I used to wait for used, and Game Stop sales on the used stuff (BOGO, etc). I thinking specs on laptops has gotten better where you can spend $500 and get a decent laptop to play stuff on. Only hardcore gamers are blowing $1000+ for specialized gaming laptops anymore.

Any hobby can get expensive, and there are a lot more expensive than gaming. I was blowing $100 a month at one point on books. My friend got into photography and was blowing thousands a month on equipment and a dark room.
