TAG Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Well, I don't care all that much whether or not they're considered art, but I guess this is pretty cool. At the very least, Roger Ebert can't argue against it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Video Games as an art = Jack Thompson and other haters can't do much to hurt the industry anymore NEA funding video games = Video Games are more likely to get better due to the desire of getting 200k in exchange for making successful video games. It's pretty much a win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Gamers already considered games art, and Video Game haters will still continue to not consider them art. So in other words, nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahrheit Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 If you all remember Arnold Schwarzenneger v. EMA, one of the arguments used by the defense was that video games should be considered as an art form and as such have an element of subjectivity with relation to the mature content in some. Now they are officially condoned as such, and we should never have to fear unfair limitations to access ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
