As a bluesky user I see games are art fags everywhere.
They are completely divorced from the idea that games are products people need to actually want to buy and play. They see the mere creation games in itself as a goal and call anyone who creates games a valuable artist or creator even if nobody plays anything they create. Studios who have never made a good game closing are treated as tragedies, yes they actually use words like tragedies, and are considered losses for us all because creators are harmed and out of work. Creators of what you ask? That doesn't matter.

I actually agree with you OP that these people see games as a big project where we subsidize a bunch of artists for arting for the sake of arting because it's the right thing to do, and it's a giant waste of money propping up people who make shit nobody cares about most of which is indie slop.
