>"Having once made the statement above, I have declined all opportunities to enlarge upon it or defend it. That seemed to be a fool's errand, especially given the volume of messages I receive urging me to play this game or that and recant the error of my ways. Nevertheless, I remain convinced that in principle, video games cannot be art. Perhaps it is foolish of me to say "never," because never, as Alejandro Jodorowsky informs us, is a long, long time. Let me just say that no video gamer now living will survive long enough to experience the medium as an art form."
Yes. It's garbage bread and circuses, nothing more.

I generally don't go to movie critics for opinions on oil paintings, so frankly I'm not going to take the word of a musician on video games. He's entitled to his opinion.

How is it not art by definition?
Isaac Wood
I would like to know what he considers as art.
Luke James
this is the last great Sup Forums pasta
Caleb Ramirez
Video games are just a way to make money. They aren't art.
Brody Martinez
It's better that games stay games and not art.
Mason Sullivan
So what if someone releases a video game for free? Does that make it art?
Evan Anderson
Fistful of Frags features no method of spending cash in any way.

Grayson Thomas
remember that time Ebert got cancer?
Sebastian Smith
I guess all those Renaissance paintings and sculptures done under commission from rich patrons are fucking trash then.
Brody Hernandez
"Art" isn't a real thing

David Gilmour is too busy playing music to take the time out of his day to play a game that could be considered art. He sees what is the most played games in mainstream video games and excuses it as trash. It's like saying music cannot be art because I turn on the radio and nothing I listen to reaches out to me the way the artists who I am fond of reach out to me. It's hypocrisy.

Jordan Brooks
I don't care either way.
Justin Moore
Renaissance paintings mostly weren't made by individuals, but a master and their apprentices. The master signed the painting.

Says the guy who writes/plays songs that appeal to teenagers and those with the musical depth of teenagers. The guy can barely find his way around the guitar neck.
Angel Sanchez
Then what is theater then? Or Cinema?
Joshua Jackson
Art = creativity + time.
Mason Stewart
Meant to quote this.
Christian Ward
Fuck off, Ubisoft.
Jackson Baker
Hurf durf the director's vision something something one person in creative control.
Mason Harris
They are art, they're just not 'high' art for cultured faggots to masturbate their egos over.
Brayden Gutierrez
Disregarding the obvious bait, some video games are art, some aren't.
Just like I'm not going to consider an Adam Sandler movie "art", while I'll consider Mulholland Drive art.
