Authors can write the books they want, filmmakers the movies they want and musicians the music they want.
But somehow game makers seem to not get the same freedom anymore.

Actually, when the industry was still young, game creators enjoyed the luxury of avoiding the artistic criticism that is a part of most mediums. Now that it is legitimately becoming an art form, the same level of intense criticism and analysis is being directed at games. It's a sign that gaming is finally starting to grow up. The same thing happened with movies.

To not analyze what the artists are trying to say with their stories and characters is to treat the material as less than adult.
