"art" isn't restricted to just a drawing or sculpture, it's the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
someone can master anything and their skill would fall within the broadest definition of art. for example, OP has mastered the art of sucking cock and shall henceforth be referred to as Dicasso

This is what we mean when we say games aren't art. They absolutely can be according to the abstract definition, but to compare video games to genuine landmark pieces of literature and visual expression is insanity. There is not a single video game in existence that has rivaled any academic impact or analysis as the greatest pieces of cinema, because interactivity is inherently resistant to artistic expression.

>to the abstract definition
the funny thing is all these made up qualifiers you use to determine what is or isn't art tells me that you are actually creating the abstract
all you've done is say there's good and bad art and bad art isn't art
with all those words lmao

Why should it be art?
Art only attracts the true dregs of society, leeches with no useful skills that pretend to be intellectuals to mask their worthlessness and vapidity.
Videogames aren't art, videogames are a science.
Hunter Cruz
by definition games are literally art, sure, but i wouldn't want them to be classified as art because that means that they are qualified to be politically charged and motivated because art and politics have a symbiotic relationship. If you think video games are art but you hate when Kotaku and Polygon articles are socially and politically discussing video games, then you're a humongous hypocrite
Connor James
apparently anything is art if you want it to be

I guess.

Correction. Video Games can be EVERYTHING AND NOTHING.

Most things are art. Punching someone clean in the jaw is an art.

pompous faggots attempting to use games (toys) as political soapboxes has always been a thing

Art is speculative.
Everything can be art, even a lady shitting on a canvas is considered “art”
Alexander Reed
Videogames are legally recognised as art, retard.
Doesnt matter if you consider them to be worth calling art, the reason you can enjoy them being as expressive and unkempt as is is because theyre allowed to be classified as works of art, worthy of value and meaning than a toy which only makes it a possible murder simulator, devoid of any meaning or purpose.
Besides, whenever you faggots say "Its not art" you never make a proper definition of "ART" to refute it.
Blake Howard
you've got it :D
Camden Cruz
Rather, using "art" as a measure of quality is meaningless.
Gabriel Sullivan
more subjective than meaningless

Josiah Parker
You can call it art but its not recognised as art by the broad populous or government.
Videogames are recognised as works of art by the government and probably many people.
Art doesnt dictate quality
Art means its possible of delivering some kind of good, value, meaning or purpose to those who ingest it.
Someone calling videogames NOT ART are retarded as they literally forget the reason they can have violent games that can possibly tell compelling dramatic and touching narratives through gameplay and design alone is because of the legality.

Why does anyone care if it is or not?
