(Some) videogames are just another way to consume stories. their interactive nature makes your imput as a player matter, and if the story is good, (like with any other medium) you get invested in the characters, the world and what happens to those as you progress through the story.
Ok. Maybe some.
And still I'd rather invest my emotions into real life than in a means of killing time.
Wow. You are very cool and your contribution to this thread is invaluable.

Connecting to characters in media is a great way to connect to your own feelings. It sounds like you're treating it like it takes away from reality somehow, but all media is a reflection of reality. People have a reaction to it because it connects to something in their life. If you haven't found things that resonate with you that's cool, but looking down on others for being emotionally open is unnecessary.
People don't tend to find people who shun artforms as very interesting people
