> "I'm really not optimistic on getting people to stop watching TV or movies." Why do we need to? I hear this sentiment from gamers sometimes, where passive (story told to you) entertainment is almost used in a derogatory way, as if the fact that the audience is not actively participating makes it worse. It seems to me a kneejerk reaction to years of everyone treating gaming as an illegitimate artform. Why do we need to change this behavior? What is wrong with consuming stories about other people?
