[quote=Anonymous]This might shock you, but the production budget for major video games is often orders of magnitude than most movies.  Take a game like Red Dead Redemption II, for example. That game grossed over $700M in only 3 days.  Name a single movie that has ever put up those kinds of numbers. That single game one has earned over $3B in its lifetime.

Why did it sell so much?  Because it had a good story. It had an amazing interactive environment and challenging tasks to complete.  Dollar for dollar, video games are by far and away the best value per hour of entertainment that exists.  You can be entertained for 100+ hours for $70, meanwhile you probably spend $14 to see a 90 minute movie.

Video games aren't Mario or Pacman anymore. You are basically 3 decades behind at this point still thinking they're for kids.  They have very engrossing stories, characters, and can even have very difficult puzzles to solve or require extensive teamwork to accomplish a task.

Maybe you should grow up, OP.[/quote]
