*raises hand* I would be one who disagrees. I've always considered "game" to be a relatively decent metaphor -- it IS just a metaphor, of course, but it's not that big of a stretch. (I thought the same of Gaia, for the record.)

I can see the opposite view easily enough. There's nothing wrong with it.
