Uhhh.. anything. There's no real set backstory for gamers. That's essentially the group you're pulling from, and people game for any number of reasons. It doesn't have to be because of depression.

Some people have very demanding professions and they game to relax. Others are e-sports professionals and they game a lot because they're training- they have high stakes in being the best at a game. Other people do have various mental illnesses or deficiencies that cause them to want to socialize through a game rather than irl. Still others have addictions to gaming and they might not be able to quit even if they know they should.

Well the reason I was going for wanting to escape is because of the nature of the game that's been designed. The admin in this case is looking for people who want to escape into something (as well as those who will give him entertainment) because the game is initially tailor designed to that, to take advantage of these people. He also picks out a few people who want power over something to be some of his mods.

He'd probably ignore or reject more healthy people who just want to have some fun, and stuff. Or the people who would spot his toxic nature a mile away and run for the hills.

One of the protagonists of the story have a more normal game group for contrast. The admin's game is meant to be sort of "off" in comparison, which is what gets the alarm of the protagonists, who start investigating the community because they get the feeling something's not right here.

I apologize if I came off as making assumptions about all gamers. I hope this makes it clearer.
