I already told you that games are defined by gameplay and that gameplay is getting removed from many titles, making them less games.

I said compelling. Obviously, your view is refutable. It is your way of redefining what a game is (yes, "real games", which all video games are) and the freedom of choice. 

Essentially repeating: "because I say so".

What defines a game never changes, it's gameplay.
