Gosh... screenwriters, novelists and comic creators are going straight to the source and branching into games themselves... yawn... must be slow news day for amazingly unoriginal conclusion like that... first examples started in early days of adventure games and have continued ever since... and we keep getting the joys of interactive books and how they're going to replace books and reading... oh yes, that one stretches back to the beginning computer gaming...
Doesn't seem to occur to the writers of these pieces that none of these things precludes the other... "The Theatre is dead now we've got cinemas and film!!" so I'm left wondering about all those big buildings where they purport to put on "plays." "No more board games now we've got computers," so sales soared over the last few years (well until the banks made us all broke) and so on.
Every few years, someone thinks it's cool to write about the death of some art form/entertainment method. Me, I like interactive games and other computer entertainment systems but there are equally times when I don't want to do anything but be entertained... could watch TV, go the cinema whatever but I'll read or listen to audio drama (pictures usually better)...
