Let me see if I understand, and perhaps amplify...
Participatory, and thematic, that's what makes a game good.
This puts the "We should..." line in a different light, entirely.
"We should all do *blank* because it makes the games we play in more participatory and/or more thematic" would be a statement that is in line with these game quality criteria.
To respond, "I don't think I would have fun doing *blank* for *reason*" may be true, but does not negate the original statement, and is probably useless to point out.
This isn't the place to argue that fun is more important than participation and theme. Here, it isn't, by definition. It's not a topic for argument.
This makes VB go "right on."
This makes VB go "you can probably see now..."
How come "meaningful participation" already had a definition you hadn't agreed to, for instance.
This makes VAX go "Correct"
