I know a big draw to videogames now is the story, and what goes into it. People like to play games with real good plots, dialog, characters and so on. It would be assumed the quality of this is based on the storytellers involved, so the videogame industry getting the top storytellers would help make better quality products.
Well, I have a question: Why would the top storytellers choose the videogame medium for storytelling over other things like books and film, or tv? Unless it is a case of the Call of Duty franchise throwing a bunch of money at a writer who worked on the Batman series, why would any storyteller pick videogames as a medium to work in?
And if there isn't much of a reason, why would people playing videogames expect the videogame medium to excel at storytelling?
