>To my knowledge, no one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great dramatists, poets, filmmakers, novelists and composers. That a game can aspire to artistic importance as a visual experience, I accept. But for most gamers, video games represent a loss of those precious hours we have available to make ourselves more cultured, civilized and empathetic.
—Roger Ebert
Jawdropping statement. Really something to sink your teeth in.
The end is correct.
The beginning is incorrect because he is trying to sneak in filmmakers with poets and novelists and composers. Film is the junk food of art, just like videogames.
Yes.
Jokes aside, before dying he retracted his "video games can never be art and are a waste of time" statement.
Essentially he didn't really play video games at all.
His last statement was along the lines of
>sry i don't actually play any of that gay shit lol brb dying
Brainlet quote. Gaymen is too young for it to have definitive "greats."
Feel bad for him, died before he could experience Undertale.
no and he got punished with deadly cancer for his stupid statement
Video games are art, a lot of people just don't want them to be.
