So would I. But I don't not want to experience it as a movie. It'd be something separate. Not an upgrade.
Which makes Sam's comment the inane blather of a pitchman. We don't need to bend over and try to steelman marketing dross. He doesn't care if that statement means nothing, why should we?

Altman thinks that movies "will become videogames". As in, he sees media as some sort of ranked ladder where everyone wants to climb as high as possible. He does not understand what movies are or why people like them.
You're projecting pretty hard here. That's what you think of when he says he thinks of them as a videogame. You do know that "games" on netflix are basically movies? See the recent https://www.netflix.com/games/82112833
You seem quite out of touch with what the state of media and games in general if the first thing you thought of was a game with a ladder.
