that doesnt make games not art, just means a lot of people that are gamers dont want art
>[Gamers] just want Ayn Rand-ian written characters, where the main villain is like Wesley Mouch. You immediately know what to feel about each character. […] When you make an unlikable character, people expect Sherlock Holmes or Dr. House.
>They want flawed heroes, but only to the extent that they’re beautiful and intelligent and slightly Asperger-y. But they manage to be dicks to everyone and they get away with it because they bring some sort of savant-ism that saves the world. So if you make a character who’s just some hipster obsessed with the paranormal who hasn’t grown up yet and treats his friends like shit, people immediately feel- they don’t know how to process this.
and "consumerist disposables" are found in literally every other artform
