There is this video game "the flock", a indie horror game. When the in-game population dies, nobody can buy the game anymore. Videogames are surely trying to bring the real thrill to players.
It is this extra thrill however, which makes many gamers lose the zest for a normal storyline because it just doesn't deliver this thrill. As a spectator surely interesting, but I have to admit that personally it makes he game rather work than Joy, because I don't come any longer to breath in the beauty of details in the game. :)
