Compelling's replacement:

I hereby declare that henceforth, "compelling" when used to describe an aspect of a video/computer game shall be instead replaced by submersive or immersive.

For example:

X feature makes the game more compelling.

Shall now read:

X feature makes the game more immersive.

......

X feature allows for a more compelling experience.

Is now:

X feature allows for a more submersive experience.

So please take note the next time you scribe an article or blog post or have a developer interview for some promotional aspect of your game.

That is all.

[edit]
According to online dictionaries submerisve is not a word although this surprises me because it is the logical extension of submersed/submersible as is immersed/immersible/immersive.
