I would like to add another point that, in my opinion, what game might thought us about life.
Game could open our eyes or introduces us to entirely different perspective. I would like to say that some of the game may act as ’simulator’ in some part of the life. For example, gamers can feel what it’s like to fly a airplane with a flight simulator. The gamers also know that being a pilot need a great concentration and some factors such as latitude, speed, fuel need constantly monitored.
Another example is most common first person shooter game. If the game has promising and engaging story, it also can turn into some sort of simulator game as the player totally immerse to the game. The player may simulate into a soldier, thus player may experience frustration for being push into the corner by the enemies and may feel relief when the reinforcement come to the rescue, or if the plot demand, the experience being betrayed or being force to executed an innocent.

As the conclusion, a game that act as simulator will engage the gamer to experience something that they never had before, though it is not a quarantined that someone have experience playing flight simulator game can become a full fledge pilot in real life. For this sort of games, it need some aspect of the game that may totally immerse the player to the game itself. It may be a engaging story,realistic graphic, or simple gameplay.
