    If you think that gameplay is just meaningless busywork in between cutscenes then sure.

    But I am of the opinion that games are not movies just because they are on a screen. They are much closer to tactile or kinetic sculptures.

      Gameplay isn’t meaningless busywork.

      Tedious and boring gameplay, shrouded under the name “difficulty” is.

      If you have to replay the same section over and over, that is the real meaningless busywork.
