I'm sure most of us has tried them for many reasons escapism(cost free and it doesn't hurt my body), ego boost(I don't play for an ego boost I'm not shallow enough but, I can relate to that eventually), some thing to fill your gaming needs(I was able to deal with it), maybe meeting other gamers(I failed at that one), and lacking new consoles and hand helds(it doesn't apply to every one but, I was playing the free to play games).
