It's interactive, but regardless of what it's sold as, it's still a game. Some people grey area the reality with virtual with it, but it's no different from those that spend hours on WoW or make money in Entropia. In the end, you can't escape completely. Thus, regardless of how much you want to mesh it directly into your life, it's still just an "addition" and not a "core". And from a technical perspective? Yup... it's still a game.
