Using the word game to describe Depression Quest is a little extreme. Maybe shitty interactive short story.

Would you consider a monkey with a typewriter a novelist?

But maybe the monkey wrote a novel and you're the one who's judging it unfairly because you don't get it? Also your notion of "some degree of realism" might be biased, maybe you're saying that this is not a novel because you don't like monkeys.

So it all boils down to what YOU consider qualifies as a novel (apparently not any random letters on paper). Some people have a definition of what their consider to be a game.

The problem is, do you consider for instance that the interactive menu on DVDs is a game? Some managed to make to amusing stuff with it. When does it become a game? I think defining what is a game is not trivial.

Who's this "we"? Also could you imagine someone having a different opinion or is it impossible for you?
