That's because I'm a video games journalist. I tweet about games. Books and movies can also influence people's lives. Why would a book/movie be able to do that but a game couldn't in your eyes? That's daft.

True, and I do apologise for the mocking tone, it was more meant as genuine surprise. Pen and paper is responsible for more people telling their own stories than building worlds on a pc, and would do more if fewer were distracted by instant domaine fixes like minecraft.

I get you. People who treat games seriously as hobbies and careers are often mocked. I actually somewhat agree that there are few games that tell linear stories as well as movies, but there are some that come close. Overall different goals though! No ill will bud

If more games told great stories I’d be more on board with the argument, naturally there are corner cases in both genres but the more emotionally charged, character driven STORIES. On any format, is a win for me.

Film and games aren’t an either-or choice though. I’m a film fan, and I’m a video games fan. I get different experiences from both. I’d argue the interactivity of the latter makes powerful games that much more powerful, but I’m a film lover too.
