What makes movies and music is subjective, just like games. That's why there are so many genres of movies and music. There are plenty of genres of games as well, none of them are less of a game than any others.

musics are sound at a certain rythm, can have vocal, instrumental or both. movies are pre recorded audio-visual stories, make it live and it becomes theater.

I'm not talking about genres, this is about the definition of games, and that would be INTERACTION. many devs are straying from interaction and thus, from gaming.

Music doesn't have to be a certain rhythm though. It can be as fast or slow, as long or short, as loud or quiet as it wants, it's still music. Like wise with movies, they don't have to be audio-visual stories. There are silent movies as well.

Yes, games do need you to be able to interact with them. But how much interaction or how you interact doesn't matter, it is still a game regardless.

By rythm, I refer to anything that isn't random noise, it's still sound in all cases. Movies can be silent, I suppose, but they need the visual part. And games need interaction.
