可能是现代人生活都比较空虚吧。网络游戏可以让你随心所欲地体验到现实生活中体验不到的快感。而且玩游戏时，特别能培养和激发团队精神，也确实能结交一些朋友。我就和几个经常一起在网上作战的网友成了生活中的朋友。大家感觉志趣相投，所以特别谈得来。

Maybe it's because modern people's lives are pretty empty. Online games let you experience the happiness of doing things that you can't do in real life. And playing games is really good for cultivating and stimulating team spirit. And you can definitely make friends. I've become real-life friends with some people who often play games together online. We feel like we have shared interests, so it's easy for us to socialize.
