IMO if a game doesn't make me think about the characters and story after I'm done with the game, there wasn't much thoughtful art that would appeal to me there, anyway. Some games are straight up artistic expressions that go beyond trying to provide immediate fun in the here and now. For those, I naturally think about what happened in the game while and after I'm done with it.
