If games are ever to be accepted as an art form, they'll have to inspire emotions in a way that other art forms simply cannot, and that would be with interactivity. If that were ever to happen they'd probably be called something on other than GAMES as games is just a word to describe entertaining activities that involve commitment beyond being a spectator.
I don’t think traditional storytelling in any game will ever merit that kind of acceptance from the masses, because other established forms are typically much better means to tell stories. It would have to involve interaction in a way that can’t be replicated elsewhere.
Least that’s my take.
