They make good points until this bullshit:

But if video games are ever going to be taken seriously as an artistic medium, they have to grow up, and that means learning how to love authentically.

No. That take is horseshit. They don’t have to do anything to be taken seriously as art. They already are. If you can’t see it because it doesn’t tick some of your boxes that’s a you issue.

I would actually agree with him in some level. Art should always be evolving, and it should be looking past its comfort zones, even past areas many others have failed, to do so.

It doesn’t need to be a form of “disqualification” as he says, but there IS value in applying change even just for its own sake.

Some games are art. Some are money grabs or outright scams.

And that’s true for any “artistic” medium as well
