He's not saying everyone should follow his lead (not sure why this continues to be said), all he wants is a place in the industry. Besides, what isn't a "game" to you isn't reflected in absolute. |
To be fair, I never stated, or even implied, that David Cage is a proselytizer. All I said is that his vision is troubling to me.
I just don't agree with his philosophy, i.e., "getting the player emotionally involved is the holy grail of all game creators." It's misguided, as is his reliance on the methods and tropes of cinema. Video games and movies, despite their ever-growing superficial similarities, are worlds apart in terms of storytelling and interactivity. They just cannot work together.
Your last point is a truism. Of course the millions of video game fans out there have different interpretations of what a game is, and can be. All I can do is articulate my own.
