My problem with cutscenes in video games

It irks me that games nowadays have long cutscenes where the player can let go of the controller for extended amounts of time and essentially be watching a movie.

Wouldn't a movie be called poorly made if it had frequent exposition dumps through text. In that case, "we bought a ticket to WATCH a movie, not READ a book" would be a fair criticism.

So, why doesn't the same logic apply to video games? sure they can have shorter cutscenes, similar to how movies sometimes need quick textual context but a 3-4 minute non-interactive cutscene in a GAME is ludicrous and comes across as lazy to me.

Video games are a unique medium with interactivity at its core, so why not explore it in creative ways. Why can't Devs unfold the story through gameplay exclusively?

Games like Limbo and Inside sure do a damn good job at it.

Would you rather a game have a 10/10 story or 10/10 gameplay?

Btw, not saying either of these are the pinnacle of their categories.

Need help with cross-country gift card sharing

A US friend wants to send me a Xbox gift card.

Obviously he should buy the Indian one, but I am worried if the payment would go through for him on the Indian Xbox site.

If he decides to get a US gift card as a second option, would I be able to redeem it in India or by using a VPN?
