Why do people think that online and computer games qualify as board games?

online games

Yes, Scrabble and Go and Chess and Risk are all board games. And yes they’re all available online in some shape or form. But for me the definition of a board game is something where you can take it out of the closet, put it on a table, and play face to face with friends. ONLINE games should be in a seperate category! What’s everybody think?
