@colahpse and i dont really mind it, but the "popcorn story" works get put in the "artsy fartsy" category while the game-first gamer games are considered low entertainment.
but what gives me hope is that general audiences are unaffected by this. for example, helldivers 2 popped off, where the rest of sony's movie story games didn't. you dont see film audiences liking a film for the filmmaking, but game audiences like games for the gameplay. and i dont think its gonna change, its inherent to the medium.
