Well, hey now... Nothing wrong with changing the medium. It should be encouraged! Storytelling shouldn't be constricted to a single format. Imagine how interesting and engaging it would be if school children could interact with a literary world in the classroom.
Specifically I'm reminded of playing user-generated levels in Little Big Planet.
Some of those were especially engaging and told an amazing story and if you followed the creator on Youtube, you could sometimes play an entire storyline when another level was introduced.
The other comments here hit the nail on the head with the article forcing a biased conclusion.
