Either I'm just not getting this conversation or I'm coming at it from a different viewpoint.

I think so. You seem to be arguing against the idea that stories necessarily make ALL games better. Which I agree with, and sort of said as part of my post.

But the actual statement made at the beginning of all this was that games are better without trying to have good narratives. The implication was that ALL games are lessened by trying to tell stories. I don't think people arguing against that are necessarily saying that every game has to try to be a movie. Just saying that the blanket statement the article made is wrong.
