Offtopic request: Can you disable the daily limit on emote reacts? They're pretty useful.
You started it!
Games vastly predate game theory and computers? They are a deeply human concept, much like storytelling, and when the two have intersected both past and present it has never made it "not a game", or "less of a game".

There's a reason I don't tell Ian any personal information lol
a) nothing "predates" game theory and to a lesser extent computers, they just aren't formalized.
b) the advent of computers marks massive changes in what "games" could be; it would be like comparing "storytelling" pre-printing press and post-printing press (a larger gulf exists between storytelling pre-post written language). addendum: socrates thought writing was inherently evil, people have made massive differentiation between the two mediums in the past.
storytelling/narratives are much more "human" than games. dogs play games.
cheap IO/storage is something like the printing press.
Humans formalized games too -- with rules, win conditions and loss conditions.
Stories didn't change much when the printing press came around
The Muslim holy Bible was memorized and still is by many people. The only thing the printing press did was allow people to have a worse memory (like modern day timers do for people)
my brain can do simple algebra: it is not a computer.
Yes with poor emulation of digital processing
my brain isn't a register machine.
You're not dumb because you arrived at the wrong conclusion about this, just lazy.
what game pre-computer era actually has a narrative to it
Hundreds of RPGs, Adventure games, even simple platformers
narrative does not exist until mass produced game boards?, then absolutely explodes when cheap/io storage on the computer happens.
movies are predicated on massive, cheap storage: film. the theatre play is just cheap storage.
your "games" are just bible clones
