Fine Art - Games

Games

There is a debate in the games industry, academia and video game culture regarding the stature of games as a fine art. Film critic Roger Ebert once has argued that games can never be art, as he claimed they lack the authorial control seen in film, and leave too much up to choice. However, he later stated that he was too unfamiliar with video games to judge them, although he still wasn't convinced at the time that video games are art. Nevertleless, as of 2012, he is open to the possibility that video games are art.
