My brother and I got into it because of our parents and aunt and uncle.
My aunt and uncle and my parents would call each other on the phone when the got stuck on the legend of zelda. I think there's a picture of my brother and I either playing zelda or mario. Since then it's always been a part of lives. Nowadays, I play because I play some games because it's like watching a movie that you get to live out (at least in rpgs) and the soundtracks are amazing. Other days, it's fun to blow stuff up lol.
