Comment on Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that?

There’s lots of kinds of games.

You want chess? There’s chess. Like, no other game has better software than chess. Lichess is maybe the cleanest goddamn game experience that anyone’s ever written in code. There’s no bullshit whatsoever. You can just run it and play chess, with the computer or with a human. It’s just a game.

The best Go game I can point you to is KGS and it’s not as good as Lichess.

You want to play a run-around-and-whack-stuff-with-a-sword game? Yeah, buy yourself a Nintendo and play the latest Zelda game. They’re good at that. Especially if you have a strong stomach and don’t get all pukey when your guy goes flying in the air.

Or you want to play a Dungeons & Dragons game with factions and fights and gnolls and hot drow ladies? Yeah, you go install Steam and play Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s okay if you didn’t play Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2.
