I think the answer is way more straight forward then this... We play games because it’s fun. Having fun makes us happy. Being happy is a goal that is worthy in and of it self. A life which is optimized for happiness is a good life. If a game makes you happy, and it makes people around you happy, that game is worth playing for if only for that reason that it makes you happy. Its funny that you mentioned “feed the homeless” as an example here. When I lived in San Francisco I spent every Tuesday going to my neighborhood anarchist space to cook for Food Not Bombs and later served it on 16th and Mission. Why did I do that? Sure helping people is a noble goal, spreading anarchist propaganda through direct action is productive for a cause I believe in. But the number one reason I spend my time there—by far—is because it was fun.
