Movie brain.
It's a terminal illness that afflicts game developers.
Remember how "idea guys" always have ideas for the setting, characters and story of a game but never for the gameplay? That's movie brain.
People with this illness will make a movie in their head, and when the time comes to make their movie into a video game, they get mad that they have to deal with a player now, so they take out the whip and start whipping the player and force them to follow the script that they have in their head, because they believe that the movie in their head is the most awesomest movie ever and any deviation from it would be heresy.
Anything gameplay-related that might interfere with the movie gets gutted, the player is only given the absolute minimum of control to force them to follow the movie script, and since the movie is always a giant epic, the pace is slowed to a crawl, the player must experience every second of every scene of this most awesomest movie ever, so skipping any part of the movie is unthinkable and unforgivable.
Eventually, people with movie brain will develop the delusion that movies are a superior and more sophisticated art than video games, and they will sneer at video games while deeply resenting having to develop them. They will spend the rest of their lives trying to turn games into movies and producing nothing but shit games as a result.
There is no known cure for movie brain, other than a bullet to the head.
