LMAO are you serious? You didn't do the barest of a glance at a single statistic before you wrote this nonsense.
GOOD. They're GAMES. Interactive movies with shit gameplay has been the single-player model for way too long, and the modern hipster walking simulator garbage has taken that to its extreme.
Wait, so what part of the game is the "actual" game to you? It's clearly not the part where you play a game. Yet somehow in your next sentence you manage to stumble over the essence of a game and completely miss it. Games are competition within a defined ruleset and have been since time immemorial, against either other people or against your own skills.
Your juvenile comparison of games to drugs deserves no addressing. You might as well call watching a movie or hiking a drug.
