Do you consider MMORPGS "real" games?

[Reasonable]

I'm tempted to say define what a "real game" is but let me answer this way.

Of course, because the principle you invoke is that a game such as tennis, which is real time and here you must interactively respond correctly in real time, is a real game, whereas a game like chess, where nothing happens until you make a move and it's all about the correct choice, is not.

So, clearly, the principle seems flawed and MMORPS must be "real games" just ones with different gaming mechanics.
