The value proposition is just heavily skewed towards video games. Some games cost less than a single visit to the cinema and provide heaps more entertainment. Sure, it's different entertainment and the social aspect of going to the cinema is a factor too, but I'm not much into cinemas myself, so I know where my money goes.
The social aspect of going into a dark room to watch a screen in silence? Vs talking a joking around on voice chat?
The social aspect of going to watch a movie in a dark room on a screen while everyone around me loudly "whispers" to each other and checks their phones. Not to mention the screen that is lower quality than my television at home.
