why dont people want to be plugged into the experience machine?

lots of people dont want to be plugged into the experience machine, but the happiness from in the machine are still real, just like how people play video games and get happiness out of it. the experience may be fake, but isn't the happiness real?

Have you looked at Nozick’s Anarchy State and Utopia? He suggests the experience machine thought experiment and then gives three reasons why one would not want to be attached to it.

1. We want to do certain things, rather than merely have the experience of doing them. So someone who aspires to climb Mount Everest is invested in actually doing so, not merely experiencing what it would be Ike to do so.

2. We also value certain ways of being. For example, if you are in love and find out that it was all an illusion because your partner was manipulating you for your money, the experience of love is tainted even though at the time you wrongly thought it was real, it was pleasurable. It matters to us that we are genuinely friends with our friends, that we are genuinely kind or courageous.

3. We also want to discover how things really are. Being plugged to an experience machine limits us to a man made reality. There is no contact with anything deeper, to anything significant such as discovering who one really is, discovering what gives meaning to one’s life, etc. 

So in those three senses there is some happiness in the experience machine but it is not valuable because it is not genuine.
