Do you play rFactor? I'm mostly familiar with the different touring car mods and road racing but I'd be interested in trying pretty much any type of racing (rally, ovals, off-road, etc).
If there is no killing and plundering involved, what is the point of playing?
I think it's the same as people who get into flying sim airplanes. It's a vicarious replacement for something I can't afford to really do (well, we'll see about this summer...).
Some types of games are too low stimulus to keep my attention. If there's long, slow parts between the high stimulus parts I'm not going to remain interested. Social aspects don't really appeal to me either.
Racing is just high stimulus all the time and if you're hitting your marks consistently it's just like little hits of dopamine at every corner and if you've got someone ahead even better because it just feeds that chase instinct. I think it feeds my need for stimming in the same way some other people find grinding in those sorts of games will.
