Story Railroading.

[Egon Bigmemes]

I must admit I hardly read any

Then what's the point? If we the players have no effect on the world, and will continue to have no effect, including all past, present, and future roleplay, what's the point? Why should I or many others have any interest in the uninteresting forced plots Story puts out besides being a bit player? A literal extra that simply doesn't exist? Why allow player governments to exist, or official factions to exist, if not to allow for player agency? If you're actually honest with your opinion that players should have no involvement in the story, then you'd better put your money where your mouth is, and get rid of official factions and player controls of laws/governments/etc entirely.
