Hey I like a game with no story as much as anyone, like Katamari Damacy.
But hey, if a game has story, that's good too, and I HIGHLY disagree with you about game's stories never being able to stack up. I like the story of Final Fantasy 6 far more than just about any movie I've seen in recent years. This whole "stories are for books" thing sounds to me like some old timer trying to keep things like they "should be". Well, things are chaning... MAN! Rock and roll FOREVER! Eh, I don't know, point is, these people do know what the heck they are doing, by trial and error. Give them some CREDIT man, it's due!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
