Oh, we are playing a zero sum game now?

getting tired of this argument. It doesn't even exist. It's just you defending arcade games with no story like elevator action and burger time.

No, i am simply disputing your claim that 'Games were always MEANT to have story'.

No they weren't, games never need or require story, they require gameplay.

Stories are an option

Yes stories are an option, but game designers always wanted to have stories, or have you forgotten the often cryptic lines of text from SNES and NES games.
Yes tetris doesn't have a storyline and neither does solitare....

I haven't forgotten anything, and i never disputed that many game developers wanted stories in games.
