The issue is not story here the issue is selfish oft needy behavior from groups of persons who feel that failure is not option. I must succeed on first try or game is holding me back from getting what I want, the story. Yup yup you wiped, and? Now get back in there then apply what you learned. Oh you wiped again, no problemo! Was once common for interactive media to be welp, interactive.

What you have is plethora of companies attempting to fist feed video games to crowd that would better be served by passive entertainment such as movies or books.
