AGAIN I ask you. When you are reading a book are you not imposing a trance-like state? Is it not equally valid to say the time you spend staring at words on a page is time you are hypnotized? Are you not literally getting stupider as you sit there in a trance reading fiction and making no new synaptic connections?
Most of the greatest reading material are also non-realities.
With that in mind some of the great games of today you are essentially directing the main character through out the story.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
