Video Games - A Magic Circle

Nowadays, video games are a widespread device to spend time with. It was referred to as "A Magic Circle" last session. To my understanding the "Magic Circle" can be the community one is in while playing a video game. The person playing is in the virtual world with her friends from all over the world and a own game specific language (meaning specific game-related vocabulary). Out of the "Magic Circle", the player is in the real world again. Due to many definitions of the term "game" it seems that every individual person could define the term "game" in a way it seems to fit for oneself. To me a "game" is for example The Settlers of Catan , so a game that is played in the real world with friends, family or both.
