To build on the original classics rather than throw it out with the bathwater because people like yourself thinks "gamist" parts are in the way. The same sort of hacks who want fast-forward buttons in other genres are those who adopted the nomiker "interactive fiction" over "text adventure" because they didn't want their shitty Creative Writing 101 attempts to be excluded due to their lack of actual gaming content.

The notion that one "has to" change for something meaningful to happen between two people exchanging ideas is arbitrary and utterly misguided in every sense of the word.
