>You're saying that it's absolutely not acceptable to *try* to introduce intellectual themes.
You sound like the pseudo-feminist K*taku writers that /v/ is always moaning about when you say stuff like this.
Intellectual themes, far moreso than the "interactive fiction" crowd ever managed, were already found in Infocom's games. Bureacracy was poignant and hilarious like most of Adams work, Suspended was thought-provoking and Trinity likewise.
>And it seems that you're uncomfortable with the fact that the genre is evolving.
Devolving and it's already far gone.
>it doesn't seem like anything I say can change your mind on this. Your mind is already made up firmly. Have fun with that.
The idea that arguments are for "changing someone's mind" is the most dangerously anti-intellectual idea since the beginning of civilization. Whatever happened with a meeting of minds?
Suddenly it's all a clash to be "won" because you can't make a convert like some fucking zealot.
