Would AAMFP be better if it would NOT be considered a game, like Dear Esther?

Well, thanks for the input. I guess it is clear that some people have an opinion that AAMFP is a game and some thing it isn't. However, that is not the point of this topic, kinda.

We can argue until the end of time, present arguments and proofs (and ridicule opponent's arguments like "if AAMFP is a game then windows and ebook is too"). What I was thinking is, maybe it would be better if AAMFP did not call itself a game. It doesn't mean it cannot be CONSIDERED to be a game by individuals (no matter how numbered they are). It means that it doesn't try to enforce this.

Look, if publisher says "this is a game", then if someone thinks it is NOT a game, he has a valid right to complain, right? Because he was sold something that he finds not being something it was advertised to be. However, if publisher says "this is a story told through interactive 3d environment", meaning not a game, and then someone thinks it IS a game, he has no right to complain, but quite the opposite - he thinks "oh this is all that publisher claimed, but it's also a game, great!"

Win-win situation, no?
