Gaming and identity

Games offer a space where you can experiment with being someone else, accomplish goals with clear rules, and experience growth with immediate feedback—sometimes feeling more real than actual life because the stakes are lower but the feedback is louder. The risk is mistaking the satisfaction of leveling up in a game for actual progress in the world.
