I don't see how games are less real than anything else you listed...

[Ryou is feeling pretty defensive, but mostly he just looks kind of hurt. He'd always bonded over games, so being told it wasn't the "right" thing to do didn't go over well.]

I spend a lot of time writing my campaigns and building the pieces, and then we all get together and play--and it's always a lot of fun! You should try it first before you say stuff like that.
