It's time to rethink the term "computer game"
Why are we so scared to say that games can be more than games? Is it fair to call walking simulators and other narrative-driven experiences "games"? And why do developers feel the need to shove "gameplay" into their products where it doesn't really belong? Who knows. I think it's worth considering, at least.
