The truth is, unless you're willing to play a game, you don't really get a say in the matter.

This makes me rather sad. One person who has left the world, without ever getting to experience games as an artform.

Why are gamers so intensely concerned, anyway, that games be defined as art? Bobby Fischer, Michael Jordan and Dick Butkus never said they thought their games were an art form. Nor did Shi Hua Chen, winner of the $500,000 World Series of Mah Jong in 2009. Why aren't gamers content to play their games and simply enjoy themselves? They have my blessing, not that they care.

Do they require validation? In defending their gaming against parents, spouses, children, partners, co-workers or other critics, do they want to be able to look up from the screen and explain, "I'm studying a great form of art?" Then let them say it, if it makes them happy.

I allow Sangtiago the last word. Toward the end of her presentation, she shows a visual with six circles, which represent, I gather, the components now forming for her brave new world of video games as art. The circles are labeled: Development, Finance, Publishing, Marketing, Education, and Executive Management. I rest my case.

video games are the same as movies in regards to being an art fags

t-t-t-tru g-g-g-gamur!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps it is foolish of me to say "never," because never, as Rick Wakeman 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.

ok i read it and i see the light now

Die Hard doesn't make you QUESTION YOUR FAITH IN HUMANITY... FEELING THEM FEELS...

"Do you suck dicks?" is an inspiring quote. It makes you think about the world and all of it's things. Notice the short and simple explanation, which is a subtle reference to none other than minimalism. Notice the tone, it is a reference to the roars of the wind...and the violence brought upon African countries. Artistic as fuck, mah niggaz.

exactly ammy just like games

Nope FD games are never art. Just like how a specific match of chess can't be more artistic than the rest of them.

Name one game that can be classified as art lol

Lets be real though guys art is for fruit bowls, I'm too hetero to engage in debates on if Loli Pantsu Quest can be treated as having 'artistic merit'

canadians can't be straight nerd saying something over and over again doesn't mean it's true
