I mean, I don't wanna be a gator about it or nothin', but critics bringing the framework of theater to games does feel like being colonized.
@womzilla Confusing the concept of a narrative with the concept of a narrative engine doesn't seem like it can be productive.

@chaosprime Which isn't to say there isn't room for narrative in games, but they are distinct phenomena. -
@womzilla I really enjoy a well-constructed prefabricated narrative, but given the choice I'll take the emergent narrative every time.

@chaosprime I just bristle at people trying to impose a narrative on DOOM. "If it moves, shoot it 'til it dies" is exactly what I wanted. -
@womzilla "I shot a bunch of things until they died and I liked it" is a narrative! It's just not a hoity-toity-ass literary one.
