Couldn't keep anything straight. There were several things happening in it:

1-A flimsy attempt at justifying art that conveys ideas by attempting to make the viewer feel them directly, and

Maybe it was flimsy because it doesn't need justifying? Honest question.

2-whatever the froodlenutzsky this is:

"If these games were playtested, they would, most surely, get feedback about not having clear enough avenues to control and victory. It would be whitewashing a particular experience that doesn’t really get light or validation in our current landscape."

I think the author means "play-tested" in sense that AAA games are play-tested - so that they can appeal to a broad variety of people and sell well.

Besides, I'm not sure one would play-test a game like this and be validated by the results. You'd probably get a lot of people saying they just didn't like/get it, and be unable to explain why or how.
