do you enjoy playing?

as there starts a new challenge, i wonder if you still play, cause you enjoy gaming or cause its a challenge or cause there are achievements to gather or which reason you have to play. so why do you play video games and has it changed in the past?

for me it has changed quite a few times: as kid i played cause of fun, then as teenager i flew from problems in reality so i played all day long. then there came a time of browsergames, where i just played to proof my self to be something "worth" while i spent all my time only on computer - ironic, right?^^
with steam i also started to play just to get achievements, i even played if i disliked the game so it was more like work but i paid for it to do it and got no real reward^^ inbetween i finaly start to ignore more and more the achievements (but sometimes i still try to get some of them, but if i dont get them, i dont care much) and start to play them more again cause i love gaming.

but i would like to hear your stories <3
