video Fun games go together like peas and carrots. It's no surprise that the first video game involved two spaceships trying to blow each other up.
So even though contemporary games often feature more peaceful goals like training your brain or caring for a puppy, the vast majority of them are still about the wanton destruction of other living things. Because it just feels good.

Video games are often framed as sites of play and entertainment. Their transformation into work platforms and the staggering amount of work that is being done in these games often go unnoticed. Users spend on average 20 hours a week in online games, and many of them describe their game play as obligation, tedium, and more like a second job than entertainment.

The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device.[1] However, with the popular use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device.
