"Games are the rare artworks that don’t presume an audience. There are
players, sure, but players occupy a role somewhere between audience and
creator. Put simply, they’re participants, and games are built with the
participants in mind. If developers even consider an audience that just
watches the action, it’s usually a minor afterthought. This is peculiar.
Imagine if plays were written for the performers’ benefit, or if songs
were composed only for the singers."
Interesting reading.
