Video games are games.
Games are not art,
Video games are not art.

But literally everything is art, according to some of you people.

Shut the fuck up.

Literally everything *is* art

Try making a shoe cuckboi, first you need to design it then actually make it in the real world

Even a fucking elevator is art because someone had to think of the concept, draw it, then make it

Why is a game not considered art when it requires tons of drawing to make

Put it in the trash

The concept may be art, but not the final product

A video game is a game.

A game is a set of rules.

An End User License Agreement is a set of rules.

Is an End User License Agreement art?

I don't think so. Tell me why it is.

I don't care how people try to classify it. It was creative and atmospheric, despite some frustrating puzzle segments.

Now I just want Last Guradian to be released. Even if it's a disappointment, it'll let me rest in peace.

The letters used to write said user agreement can be art and so can the agreement itself if the words are purposefully positioned in an aesthetic way, this is what makes video games art, purposefully putting thought into what looks good and say, what the architecture in game looks like or what the enemies look like, every one of those things is an artistic choice

Any restatement of the rules do not necessarily alter the intent of the rules.

When rules are altered, they become different rules.

Rules are not open to artistic interpretation.

Rules are not art.
