I understand the frustration of feeling like someone else is doing the work, or if someone is more "fraudulent" than a "fan."

But I have to nitpick your analogy.

It isn't like being a fan from reading cliff's notes, it's like being a fan because someone read the book to you.

Which isn't wrong at all.

That's a better analogy! Kudos to you!

I like your analogy. Also; I like listening to books. I also like reading them. I get diffrent things from the two experiences, but they're both enjoyable in their own way.

Reading is a passive activity whether you read it yourself or let someone else read it for you. It's the exact same bunch of words no matter who's reciting it.

Games are built around player interaction so watching someone else play is by definition not the experience that was intended by the game developers.

And here I'm thinking that some games would be improved with a little less gameplay.

(Seriously, though, some of the battle sequences in the Uncharted games just went on way too fucking long, and really started to break suspension of disbelief after awhile when you start thinking 'How the fuck did they truck hundreds and hundreds of dudes up to remote locations?' and such.)

Some games are about the gameplay. Some games are more about the story.

Actually you're wrong. A book isn't going to be exactly the same when you read it yourself or if someone else reads it to you. The inflection in their voice, the way they say certain words, or the way they infer things from a paragraph, the way they view the particular characters... that will ALL come through in their reading, and it may be completely different from the way you would read it yourself. And that's not even taking into account the VOICE of the person reading it, which can change things completely. I've listened to audio books of books I've read myself in the past, and will often pick up on small nuances and things like that which never occurred to me when I read it myself. They'll accent certain words, which change the entire meaning of the sentence in a way I never would have thought of.

When I used to read to my mom, I'd change my voice to suit the different characters I was reading. That's a different experience from someone who just reads the book flat.

So yeah, books can come off different depending on who's reading them. Their analogy stands perfectly, IMHO.
