Why do people play?

I don't now if you're serious or trolling, but what do you do for fun? Why are you on here giving this your time?
People play games for tons of different reasons. Maybe to escape reality (like watching a movie or reading a book), or maybe to challenge themselves (like playing a difficult or puzzle game). Maybe they enjoy the competition (like first person shooters, sports games), or maybe they enjoy the comradery and community.
