Why is gaming such a big thing these days?

I don't totally get the appeal. I'd rather do something more productive or something I would at least benefit from.

Not only as a culmination of audio and visual media, but as an engaging and reactive experience, video games have the potential to be the highest form of modern-day art. And despite our best efforts, human intelligence just hasn't caught up to video games yet. VR hitting mainstream will be a significant milestone in realizing the potential of implementing augmented "video games" in a productive corporate environment. There's a ton of money still on the table for the industry, but sadly most devs are content with settling for a quick buck in the mobile market. Video games are still in their infancy.

@SnailTeeth I retract this statement.

I believe literature to be the highest art-form.

I don't know what I was thinking, but conceptually there are things presented in literature, that can never be expressed adequately via a visual media presentation, let alone concisely.
