Of course not. (Gaming)

What's the value in this? Is there value? Can it be a GOOD thing? Is it fair to judge art by what's 'outside' of it? Is there a price to tapping into this? Or do you just look at only what's right in front of you?


This is a pretty standard question, when discussing art - why would videogames be different?

Video games are the most technologically dependent art. Therefore, issues regarding the technology are generally at the forefront. Not many people paid attention to the tech of film stock (after color was introduced of course), but many people are aware of the underlying technical aspects and issues in games.

Case and point: people being impressed with the number of planets in No Man's Sky, the graphics in Doom 3, etc, and having that drive enjoyment.
