It’s completely fine to not like particular types of games. There are plenty of genres I don’t enjoy at all, and I’m under no obligation to play them; it’s not like I’m being paid to play every new IF that comes out.
But I want to remind everyone of the forum code of conduct. Reviving a nine-months-dormant thread asking for best practices in a particular genre, just to say you hate that genre, and following it up by snarking about choice-based IF as a whole, isn’t going to accomplish anything except making people upset.
I’m leaving this thread open for the moment, since it seems like good discussion is happening, but remember:
Don’t claim a type or style of game already accepted by the community doesn’t belong.
Respect game/story authors.
If someone’s writing isn’t to your taste, you don’t have to play it. Just ignore it and move on. There’s no need to question why these works are being published at all. They’re being published because the author wanted to write something and share it with the world, just like basically every other piece of IF in the last few decades. (Certainly the vast majority of them aren’t motivated by profit…)
