Nah. It's whether the plot of the story revolves around being 
transported, or whether that just happens to be a way to drop someone 
into a magical (or scientific) realm.

Like, the Myst series is science fiction. The point is to figure out how 
to work the books. Without the book technology (whether it be magic, 
science, or something else), the entire series would make no sense. You 
couldn't re-do Myst without the teleportation aspect.

Quake and Quake II and Half-Life are fantasy, even tho they're set in 
technological worlds. The point isn't that these are aliens. You could 
make them "evil communists" just as easily and the game would play the 
same.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
