It's a question that you might not have even asked yourself, but should, as the reasons behind why we as humans game could quite possibly be a lot deeper than you would think, as this article claims.

In a recent brainstorming session for SlapStic article ideas with Ryan, I asked the question, “why do we game?”. At the time, the idea was thrown out because it was believed to be too complicated and abstract of a concept to work with. On a later date, however, I began to ponder this question again and finally came to the conclusion that I needed to write about it, if only to get my thoughts down and organized.
