Dude...I think you're confusing yourself. You know full well graphics aren't a gimmick unless they are foreign to an item. For instance: The holographic baseball or comic book card in the 90's. This was a gimmick used to make baseball cards more appealing. Lets look at shoes: LA Light sneakers in the 90's was created to be more appealing to kids and get normal sneakers to fly off of the shelves. More recently it was the roller sneakers. Those are gimmicks. I think you're confusing yourself about what a gimmick is. |
You said games aren't games without graphics, I replied that games aren't games without a controller.
A hologram may be a gimmick, but a motion controller or padlet is not by virtue of the fact that it has a tangible value-add in terms of data input.
If you're calling controller like the wiimote and padlet gimmicks, then advanced visual effects in games are equally gimmicky. If we play by your rules, we get fallacies, and that's a sign that your rules are fucked up.
