Or you know, they could add a switch so more people can enjoy it. Which is exactly what she was asked.

Well, I felt bad for her. Then she started with the, "You are all just jealous I work for a game developer and have a vagina!" and I lost what little sympathy I had worked up.
I'll do what I do with most games these days. Pirate the original release and if it's a good game will purchase the GOTY edition with all the DLC included.
I was thinking the same thing. What's the problem of having more options? It seems a good thing to me.
I like the idea of story mode, personally, especially for games that have a good story but awful gameplay.

I liked adventure games, but you couldn't skip ahead in those old adventure games if you failed a part of the mission, Or didn't figure something out. I guess what I really dislike isn't the story but I feel the story is a reward for figuring out the puzzle or whatever, if you can skip the "game" part of the game it seems meaningless as a game.

Well here's one I played that had zero gameplay other then picking options now and then. It was 100% choose your adventure. I played the shit out of this game.

I think Broderbund had a few too. They were all the rage in 1995.

They were a very different type of gameplay though. They did a much better job of presenting the story AS the game.
And honestly they were better games, regardless of the differences in gameplay, because of it. But you can't co-op a game of Myst and there isn't a whole lot of replay value in it.

Fair enough. It's still gameplay even if it's just a glorified game of square peg, square hole.
It does raise an interesting point though. With the advent of the internet we saw a death of the genre for a long time because spoilers pointed out how poorly these games rested on just their stories. No amount of writing could justify a 60 dollar box price. Even worse now with "let's play" twitch streams and whatnot being as popular as they are (bonus points if gamrgrl01 has her top off).
I mean there's room for a few one-off's that make news because of their non-standard 'gameplay' but the lack of a deluge of copycats should indicate that basically an interactive movie isn't going to be that big of a hit. The choose your own adventure genre story-driven gmae is going to be the realm of Hentai daiting sims I think for quite some time yet.
