part of the gamergate movement was built around targeting walking simulators, visual novels, and narrative-focused videogames and declaring them as aggressively non-games. it might feel like an academic/semiotic quarrel to you, but not to many survivors of that period in game design !

pointing at a game and saying "this is not a game" means you're saying it shouldnt be thought of as a game, it shouldnt be compared to other games, and it shouldnt be respected like a game. it's a tool of dismissal and erasure
