What I am trying to say is that many think that adventure=point n’ click, which is not true. All this alienation over direct control is somewhat childish. Reminds me of the you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Please refrain from making derogatory remarks just because you like something that someone else doesn't. I sometimes feel that there is a double standard here. The comment
Dreamfall isn't an adventure really irks people, yet countless times the same is said about Myst passes without much of a comment. Crapstorm gets slammed for saying that direct control is like gruntwork, but it's alright to say that us P&C people are childish old traditionalists don't have the drive needed to learn a new skill.
There is room in Adventures for lots of variety. While keyboard control/console control games may attract mainstream gamers, point and click is the way to reach novice computer gamers - it's easy and familiar. Both are valid and have the potential to attract new adventurers.
