Poll: do you think games are an art form

[veloper]

art is overrated
entertainment is whre it's at
games >> art

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Anything you do or create merely for the purpose of enjoyment or something that is meant only for an emotional response is art.

So yes.

Basically this. Also, what is the deal with the option 4 thingy spoiler thingy? I thought Hideo Kojima was big on story and themes and shit.

Yes, but one that is very much in it's infancy. It still needs more people doing 'art' right to be properly respected. Refer to Daniel Floyd on Youtube for elaboration on this

Games tell a story. Stories are literature, which some people will classify as art.

w00t! equations!!

the reason for that is because hideo kojima said:

"I believe that games are not art, and will never be art"

I think some games could be classified as art. And many others, hell no!
