I think that gaming/gamers/games need to take a hint from movies and spend more money on experiments as a show of good faith to people who think the industry is stagnating.
While this debate is still here....
--- Quote from: Alex C on 26 Sep 2010, 16:25 ---I mean that Pollock numbered his stuff because he was sick of people trying to figure out what forms he was supposedly trying to convey with dripping paint. That there's painters and especially sculptors who do very little more than try to convey the tactile experience of creating an artwork. Fun is, after all, an experience.

Also I find it weird that one can appreciate Pollock and Pynchon and at the same time dismiss Killer7's merits entirely.

--- End quote ---
By the standards of most "art" pricing I've seen, $60 is effectively "free".
I Am Not Amused:
Catfish, I disagree completely. I mean, I'm assuming that you're talking about visual art, but remember that you don't have to pay for a Picasso painting to see a Picasso painting. You can see many great pieces of visual art for the cost of entry to a museum, or see pictures of them on the Internet. You have to pay for a video game to experience a video game, at least legally. And, especially in online games, it's important to get the game right away so you're not behind the learning curve insofar as knowing map strategies, etc. goes. So, it's kind of a different thing.
ackblom12:
Well you could very easily argue that rentals are the answer to that and those are easily accessible.
I think it's a silly argument either way honestly.
