I'm also more than a bit puzzled by the "Bu-but I care more about the story and the characters" crowd. Fine. You can care about whatever you want. Who gives a damn? This is meant to be a discussion about core gameplay loops.
This is a thread about the recent interview, so it is not about any specific subject, therefore don't try to shut down others for their discussion points. Just because you don't care, doesn't mean you get to dictate talking-points in priority over others. Anything relevant to the interview goes, and if others are touching upon other details that doesn't interest you, ignore it.
