Hi, it's Mike!
Video games have been around since the 1970s and became extremely popular in the 1980s and 1990s when they started being played on home computers rather than arcade machines. Since then, video games have evolved into more complex forms of entertainment that anyone can enjoy at any time of day —which is why they're so important.

Videogames are a form of expression, communication, and storytelling. They can be used to teach us about ourselves and the world around us through their gameplay. Videogames have evolved from simple games into more complex ones that require a wide range of skills from players (e.g., problem-solving).
Videogames play an essential role in our lives as they help us pass the time when we're bored or stressed out by other activities. They also enable us to develop our knowledge about different topics, such as history or geography by exploring virtual worlds using avatars that represent people from real life who lived long ago on Earth.
Games are unique because they include much information, and the player must interpret it quickly.
Games also require players to make decisions that affect their outcome, so the game must provide feedback about their choices.
Videogames are similar to board games in that they contain rules and goals, but they're different in presenting the player with challenges and obstacles. The purpose of a video game is to get from start to finish without dying or getting stuck on the way. Games can be played solo or with other people; each person plays their version of the game's world but works together as a team against an opponent(s).
Games can include anything from sports simulations like Madden NFL Football or NBA 2K18, where players play as real athletes on teams (called "leagues") competing against other teams, to strategy games such as Civilization 5, where players lead their civilization through history by building infrastructure such as roads/bridges/canals, etc.; adventure titles like Minecraft where players explore caves full of monsters while gathering resources such as wood & stone blocks which they then use to build structures around them so they won't be attacked by enemies nearby who may try take over their base built up earlier today!
Games give you agency; this is important because players are given choices in how they interact with the world of the game.
Videogames give players agency in how they interact with the game world. This is important because it means that players are given choices about how to play their games and what characters they can be. Players can choose to do things that might not work or even make mistakes and learn from them later!
It's also important for developers because if you make a game without any natural choice (like an endless runner), there won't be any reason for anyone else to play it after a while.
Games can be used to experiment with new ideas; they allow people to try out things that might not work in real life and then learn from these experiences.
Games are a great way to try out new ideas. They allow people interested in trying something new but afraid of failure or who have made mistakes before an opportunity for experimentation without the risk of loss.
In this sense, games provide a safe space for learning from mistakes (which is important because nobody wants to fail at anything), making them an ideal vehicle to explore our creativity and intellect while simultaneously having fun!
Video games are an art form that should be taken seriously like any other art form.
Video games are a way to tell stories and express ideas. They can be used to experiment with new ideas and learn from mistakes, just like any other form of media.
Conclusion
I think games are an art form and should be taken seriously. Games are more than just entertainment; they have the potential to be used as a tool for personal growth, education, social change, and more!
