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.

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.
