This is definitely true. I forget it sometimes because I am not particularly interested in immersion or inhabiting a character. It is good to be reminded, though, that for some gamers this is really important.This is true, but I think it's worth mentioning that a lack of interest in sharing GM responsibilities can be for reasons other than seeking passive entertainment -- one of the big ones being a desire to explore a world from the perspective of an inhabitant of that world, with no powers of authorship and only limited access to information beyond the character's.
Me too. I love GMing and while I also want my players to contribute to the improv chaos that is gaming, I am also okay taking the lion's share of that if the players happen to be more passive/receptive.Speaking for myself, I GM because I enjoy the tasks traditionally associated with the GM's role, and I have no desire to outsource them.
