I don't understand why these people even want to play video games. The fun is in getting good enough to beat that boss that you spent twenty attempts learning the patterns of. Then you get to feel like a badass because you, personally, are making the character move like a badass. I don't feel like a badass whenever the game strips away my control and makes me watch a cutscene of my character acting badass. (Though I will say Dread did a good job making even the cinematic counters interactive by letting the player mix up what attacks they use so they can find optimal strategies.)
They don't, but it's the only writing job with a low enough bar to clear.
Did you fall into a coma in July 2014? We've known for seven years now that game journos are subversive radical Marxists who hate gamers and anything that appeals to them. They don't want to play videogames. They want to capture videogames as another avenue for the dissemination of leftist propaganda.
