Gaming is extremely fun for majority of people it is popular because it gives you something to do besides living a boring life. I game 24/7 on Garry's mod because its an escape from this reality. This reality is limited, boring, short and just overall terrible. In games there the roof is raised. In real life can you go on heists like in GTA 5? No you would die instantly but in games you can re doit and not have to worry about consequences. Like I said this reality is too limited and too boring.
