I swear, people use “gatekeeping” as a weasel word to mean “THIS KIND OF RATIONAL THOUGHT GOES AGAINST MY PROGRAMMED VIEW OF THE WORLD BOOOHOOO!” You don’t “gatekeep” videogames by saying gaming is about actual gaming and not some horrible amalgamation of a poorly done game and some failed writer’s self-insert fantasy power trip forced on people every five steps you make in a “game”.
Take a deep breath and re-think your position. Games aren’t meant to have overblown, intrusive stories. They suffer from them.
