Gonna just have to say the I can't agree at all with this statement.

Gaming is much more than just following allong a linear path that has been set out infront of you.

Ask the developers themselves, many developers are often amazed at what the gamers do with the systems they hand to the players. UO is a great example it did have a set of goals to accomplish and players took them and expanded them near ad-infinitum. Ninja in FFXI is another great example a damage dealing class turned into a tank because of how players utalized the mechanics, the developer ran with it.

The gaming experience is about having fun your way, sometimes you have fun by following the dotted lines. Other times you have fun drawing outside the lines.
