I think that's the problem, it's a trendy marketing term being applied to a situation where it just shouldn't be used and it made me cringe just reading it. The problem is, some of the stuff Jay said in the videos makes me think it's not the marketing team who wrote this...
Erm.... how is it a trendy marketing term?
Because it sounds computer related, thus related to video gamers, thus a marketing term used to attract/catch/appeal to video gamers, making the game seem trendy to a market of prospective buyers who normally dont play pen and paper RPGs or WFRP in particular.
Its like in the "what is role playing" section of most role playing rule books where the say "its like make believe, or cowboys and indians", using commom terms to make the game more approachable or acceptable or even attractive to the reader/new player.
Emperor, let Your undeniable light burn on the mishappen and twisted, so I can see them with pure sight, and purge them with righteous fire!

Not quite what I was getting at. It's just one of the stereotypical buzzwords used by marketing and management types when they want to spice up whatever it is they're telling you about. You never "use" anything any more, you "interface" with it. I'm surprised nobody's referred to this revolutionary new type of RPG as a "paradigm shift" in gaming.
It's been a long time since I was last on your Island. There are days I wish I could have stayed.
