ok fine, games don't need a story. Next time you find yourself in a thread dedicated to a story driven game, do yourself a favor and stay out of the conversation.

Did I once say I didn't like games that had stories?  I am just saying that gameplay matters, and not all games need stories.  I was also commenting on how maybe what we considered "games" may not be games.

You're getting into a gray area, because it opens up debate for whether or not a game has gameplay enough. From the tone of the thread I've seen thus far, games that have great gameplay do not have stories. I'm not sure what games may not be games either.
