I suppose there's an element of whiny "Stop playing it wrong!" there too. But Braid's controversy was more down to the story, which is unaffected by platform.

Yeah. The guy flipped his shit because nobody interpreted his story the way he wrote it, right?
As soon as you write a story it ceases to belong to you and starts belonging to the reader. There's no wrong way to interpret a story and actual good stories (written by artists without their heads up their arses like the Ico and Sotc director) will invite and applaud multiple interpretations. The director of one of my favourite series said of it 'Every interpretation is correct.' He didn't mean they're all logically correct, as half of them cancel out the other half, but rather that every interpretation is correct in the sense that they are all equally valid.
