Counterpoint: Some games are art, and are meant to make you feel something. These games are also important and/or have a place in the world.

I don't think that I would want to dump 200 hours into "that dragon cancer" but knowing that it exists and is as powerful as it is means something. Playing that game makes you feel something important that blasting aliens with laser pistols doesn't.

Being heroic isn't always saving the planet. Sometimes it's just waking up the next day and going to work.
