>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. - George R.R. Martin
Is he right Any Forums? Are video games not art?

>art by definition requires no skill on part of the audience
This has never been a part of the definition and plenty of games require no skill on the part of the audience
authorial experiences guided through a consumable medium. the point of art is to enrich the consumer, the point of games is to test the player.
This dude is a pedophile scatfag, if you listen to anything he says you're mentally retarded.
He's right about the time sink.
How many phd's could you have by now
those games fucking suck dick, and any art that requires skill inherently limits the audience it can reach and so that art fucking also sucks
Saw his retarded hat and fat face and didn't even read.
Fats have significantly lower IQs than humans; if he's not intelligent enough to be a human, then he has nothing to say.
>Who gives a fuck whether they are art or not?
Game journalists who wish they had they same cultural cache as the critics in other fields. They feel embarrassed when the media outlet which employs them holds a function or an office party, and they have to tell a group which includes film and music critics that 'I write the videogames column.' They would feel a great sense of relief if videogames were re-situated as serious grownup art.
