The good Vs bad thing is a point that I can't seem to get across to my friends who enjoy a certain type of movies. I want to be challenged and choose what is good or evil (preferably neither, reality is rarely so absolute) not just be dictated to.
Same with video games, in Fallout New Vegas you march into the bad guys (they are objectively bad people regardless) camp expecting some boss fight but if you listen he will make a reasoned and historically contextualised argument against democracy and liberalism.
Compare and contrast with a call of duty game where I run around in an "apolitical" simulation (read: simulacra) of war shooting anything that moves.
