Video games make way more money then Hollywood. I mean not to be insulting but it's like asking the question are movies actually entertaining? There's also many different genres of video games like there are movies and each genre scratches a different itch. The itch you're describing is sort of a "leveling up" goal oriented genre. That's not the only genre. For example what's the purpose of VR? How does it help with "leveling up" or getting to the next "campaign"? The whole point of VR is immersion. Too many people view gaming from a biased corner from their own little niche interest without realizing how big the industry is.
