Why do we love to play multiplayer games?

Today while practicing my Yoga poses, a thought came to my mind: why do we like to play multiplayer games than single? Maybe it’s a simple question but covers deep causes. Someone will say: “Ohh bullshit! Single-player games are better than multiplayer!” however statics show us multiplayer is more attractive. What are its causes?

1- Desire for superiority

Everyone has bad moments of past days. The lasting effects of some painful events awaken our need for “self-realization.” After all, we think it’s a good idea to be superior to someone, and we unconsciously look for options. Therefore to fight with someone in multiplayer is normal hehe!

2- Loneliness

When you have no money or moved to a new country, or your friends are busy; feel to chat with someone, multiplayer is very helpful for you. Hehehe!

Any other reasons you can think of?
