This article is completely wrong. Gaming is meant to be an interactive medium. If you want to stay passive just watching a story, go read a book, or to the cinema, or to the theater. Heavy storytelling always cripple gameplay, the two things are simply incompatible. Too bad most of the gaming industry nowadays actually think as described in this article. That's why modern games are becoming less and less fun. I miss the good old days...
