Don't tempt them! (Destiny)

Games, especially sandbox, create-your-character games, just don't fit in with your examples of static films, etc.

But they do. At some point, the game is executing static code. Your game is a static finished thing. The rules are set in stone until you change them with a patch or something. So what if players can play in different ways? That's the whole point of a video game. Maybe I just don't understand your point, which is why I didn't respond to you futuristic comic, aka, a video game.

That's absurd. Every time I play something different happens. A game doesn't execute its code front to back like a movie displays its frames. It responds and changes depending on what I do. Your view of things would make my entire life a static finished thing since the laws of the universe don't change. So what if you and I live in different ways, right?

Again, completely absurd.
