you know that books can be absolute garbage right? and some games can be beautifully written? they are just different mediums so this means nothing
No, I'm not saying games are garbage. I'm just saying that much of their material (and movies, and modern literature, and basically every other medium of entertainment) is derivative of classic literature. There's nothing wrong with games, but books (the good ones) will let you know where it all came from, giving you the firsthand experience.
