It was never supposed to be. And whenever some uppity faggot tries to be pretentious it gets further away from what a game is supposed to be. It was never meant to be anything deep.

Yes, correct.
Western devs with a mid life crisis trying to make them le deep Oscar bait will always be laughable.
Normalfags will NEVER take video games seriously. Embrace that and make games fun instead of bending over backwards to try and attract a demographic that hates you by default.

What are you talking about, the videogames industry is far bigger than the movie industry

books are better than anything, because filling in the gaps with you're own imagination makes it feel like you are part of the creation of the art. when all the stimulation is peddle to you (mainly visual) then some of the emotional attachment is lost

Obviously we'll never have people take it seriously as long as tendies like you are the ones giving us all a bad name. Luckily you're dying out in number.

The Last is Us part 1 is just as good as any book story wise
