Risk, Sorry, Yahtzee, Scrabble, Go, Chess etc. are all board games that have been made to be played online. They carry the traditional rules and such, but lack the "family, sit around the fire, and drink hot chocolate, while you play a board game" feel. I would guess though that similar guestions would arise about these games whether they were taken out of closet or played on a computer screen. I suppose you have to look at it the same way you would look at how a game may be played differently by different cultures. It doesn't make the game wrong, just different.
