In a logical fallacy sort of a way. Why do you get to be arbiter of when someone is wasting their time? Nobody watches a film 'purely' for the story or reads a book 'purely' for the story.

This is correct. This is an uncontroversial statement, and I never implied that the only reason to watch a movie or read a book is because of the story. What does this have to do with what I am saying?

Read this. It's akin to what I'm talking about. In fact, what happened to animation is so incredibly similar to what is happening to games now. Animation is about movement. That's the reason you animate instead of shoot live action or draw single images or paint. Animation offers the opportunity for very unique movements. But people watching and creating animation now do not care about that, and so the art has suffered greatly.

What makes your medium unique? Whatever it is, you need to embrace it.
