Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg encourages parents to let their kids play video games. During a Q&A at his birthday party one of the guests asked him about his connection to video games, USA Today reports.

Zuckerberg said he played video games as a child and he built them, too. When his sisters wouldn't have a snowball fight with him, he created a snowball fighting video game. "It was a terrible game," he confessed. But building these games got him into computer programming.

Apparently Zuckerberg still likes to play, since he also bought Oculus VR a while ago, company responsible for the Oculus Rift VR headset.
