1. Why Do Humans Play Games?
Obviously we play games because we invent them and we create what we want to play duh. Why do we make games in the first place then?
Well humans play games because it is fun, it creates a temporary objective for us and gives us the enjoyment of doing so. As short-sighted beings, humans do not really care or interest long-term goals such as life so games were created to give distraction towards life and makes us happy as well. Also the fun factor on games such as chess, sports and other games make us play them regularly too.
2. Are Sports Games?
What? Sports are not games. Why kick ball where you can kick it digi......ohhh....
Sports are refined versions of specific games to make it a fair game between both sides. For instance, Football, Basketball, Chess or anything that is a fair game. That is why we have the classification of normal video games and Esports nowadays. Normal video games tend to heavily side to your favor such as a hero facing multiple enemies and you still win. Esports on the other side are skill-based games that is fair across the board and requires skill and coordination( If it is a team-based game ) to defeat the opponent. Esports comprise of Dota, CS, LoL, Starcraft and many more.

3. How Do We Create Video Games?
Well it is very easy to be honest you just say to the computer "I want to make a game" and the computer will make it for you. The thing is whether your computer wants to make it for you thats why we have good games and bad games. It depends on the mood of the computer.
Video games are created by how every other computer program is created, code. Usually people start with thinking of a basic idea of a game such as story, gameplay etc. Then they will start creating characters, items, UI, physics and everything inside a game engine. After the main objects and gameplay were set they will go into beta stage which is to let the public try the game and send feedback to them so that they can improve the game by removing bugs. After that the game will be released to the public either free or with a price tag. Making a large game takes plenty of years and also tens or hundreds of people to create one.
4. When Was The First Video Game Invented?
Well this is easy, it is pong of course on the year 1999. Thats why everyone plays chess before that!
