    On the flip side, I don’t understand why people like playing video games that just tell a story and pretty much spoon feed every victory to the player. It feels hollow and incredibly boring.

    Do you feel that way about movies? Because what you’re essentially describing there is an interactive movie. Maybe they’re selling it as a game, but that’s because there’s no market for a product that calls itself an interactive movie.

      I don’t expect a movie to have gameplay. I don’t expect a video game to be a movie.

      If I want to watch a movie, I watch a movie. When I want to play a game, I want to actually play something. Not just sit back and watch.
