Video games allow people to get  away from certain things that cause them stress such as schoolwork. ?I?d rather  play Half-Life or Goldeneye than do my physics. School is the same everyday.  Video games are fun no matter when you play them? (Personal Interview).

Video games direct their minds away from  education and veer them towards the virtual world.
