I remember quoting that scene in a discussion on here, back when it first aired in 2016. Unfortunately, it seems to be even more relevant now:This reminds me of a famous scene in the TV show "Westworld".
Where the creator of westworld (Anthony Hopkins) rejects the "imagineer with gigantic ego" story.
Because there is a big difference in shoving the story and forcing the person to follow that story. Or let the user develop his own version of the story based on certain minimal backstory, elements and interactivity.
"A couple of cheap thrills. Some surprises. It's not enough. It's not about giving the guests what you think they want. It's not that simple. Titillation, horror, elation: They're parlor tricks. The guests don't return for the obvious things we do, the garish things. They come back because of the subtleties, the details. They come back because they discover something they imagine no one had ever noticed before. Something they've fallen in love with. They're not looking for a story that tells them who they are. They already know who they are. They're here because they want a glimpse of who they could be. The only thing your story tells me, Mr. Sizemore, is who you are."
