Message: [QUOTE="DanVzare, post: 30570, member: 24290"] The best "art" is usually stuff that was made by a group of people just doing their job, in order to keep a roof over their head food in their stomachs. But when someone goes out of their way to make something "artistic" I usually find it to be hollow and unoriginal. (I mean how many indie darlings can you name that are basically simplified platformers with an ambient soundtrack and a big black blob that represents anxiety somewhere in the game. Because I can name too damn many of them.) But are games art? That's a dumb question. Different people have different definitions for different words. Personally I don't consider Snakes and Ladders to be a game, but that's just my personal definition. And it's not like everyone is going to start following my personal definitions for things. With that being said, the general consensus seems to be that games fall under the definition of art. So while that's the case, I suppose the answer is yes, games are art. As for my personal unimportant opinion. Yes, I believe games are indeed art. [/QUOTE]
