RE: When will Video Games be Treated as an Art?
Hi Steemians, Hi @hansikhouse!, Lovely topic by the way.
The problem (as I see) is in some way the companies, that generates a strange feeling to consumers, stealing their money with the extras costs and make them feel like an inconscient guilt, and is a kind of love/hate, so... art can't be embraced freely and enjoined by people because they can't be with a clear message at 100% in most of the cases.
Maybe with changed politics we could be able to see a better reception in the near future. As the Indy Cuphead, for example.
And by the other hand, digital art in Video (games) is beyond basic art conception by the way. I work in Unreal Engine making Interactive ArchViz in 3d and people in 2017 seems to don't understand the concept is about... Still working with Kinect for other projects and neither..people thinks it's a stapler.
So it talks by itself.
But who knows? 2018 is arriving and maybe people will render in a different way.. Sorry, Think :)
Peace! V
