When I very briefly used to play I just liked the pew pew pew boom bang splat experience.
Maybe that’s why I never turned into a gamer proper. Never occurred to me that it had anything to do with Striving and Purpose.

Video games offer young men a simulacrum of striving and purpose.
They hijack deep evolutionary systems of risk, competition, status seeking.
They obsessively circle what highbrow modern culture condemns and denies.
They simulate ancient and essential ideals of male heroism. twitter.com/IllimitableMan
