Just to be clear i'm not arguing just wondering. You said that you consider something art based on the intent of the creator. Like if the creator is communicating something about themselves or their feelings it's art, whereas if they just make something to please an audience it isn't art. Can't you just say that about everything though, not just video games? |
Of course yes (I've altready specificed that in my previous post). In fact, the concept of art existed long way before the concept of video games and of course the definition of art shouldn't change depending on the medium.If you had to change an abstract concept every time depening on the context you apply it the concept itself wouldn't have any meaning.
And (just for clearance) imo the message the authour shoundn't necessarily be about himself but it should come form him originally, so also a personal idea or interpretation about politics and society or even art itself conveyed through a medium. Also I don't have anything against entertainment (a good ententainer may as well be more talented an skilled in a certain medium and many artists) but of course I think art should generally get more recognition beacuse it has much more potential.
