From a purely selfish-gene perspective, our only purpose is to survive until reproduction, and then maybe be sure our children do, too. And their children. Maybe to help your siblings and extended family. And so on. I've clearly failed that way, having no kids, so I'm in no position to lecture other people. If you're religious, then you think your purpose is to serve God. However, the fixation in this thread on games, especially video, is weird. There are four mentions of "parents" and only one of "games."
