I read an article today about the game EVE (spaceflight simulator from 2003) that told a tale of a conman's 16 month heist to steal a prized ship. Was thinking hey, this sounds like a rich experience maybe I should play - so read some comments. Was put off when someone explained the game can be played entirely by text. Reminded me of the way Kate discusses how we respond to visceral experiences and have a need to be a physical actor. On the average, the increase in required interaction to produce full immersion in text gameplay &amp; VR compared to  VR simulation &amp; "some machine aided distopian future" may be similar; maybe even studied.
