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.
Well I guess it's too bad for you that other people have other tastes and those tastes are also catered to. 🤷
Did I say I dislike people who like those things, or something? I just said I don't understand it. You have a choice of an active or a passive medium; why would you insist on turning the active medium into a passive one instead of just sticking to the passive medium in the first place?
Must've struck a nerve here because dude who says "I don't understand hard games" gets people explaining why people would like a hard game; but I say I don't understand extremely easy games and everyone treats it like a gotcha moment.
