Forum Overview :: Are Games Art? :: I don't get the "message" of this post

[quote name="FA-BI-OH!"][quote name="casual observer"]Yeah well, literature is going to stop being an art as well[/quote] [quote]A book, however, is an entirely different matter. You're being told a story, you're still along for the ride, but you're the one painting the scenery. This takes effort, a skill-set of its own, much like video games do[/quote] [quote]Given the fact that literature requires so much more effort than a film, and it's less immediately rewarding than a video, popular culture will lean away from books like they did from the old-fashioned storyteller[/quote] [quote]Literature's quickly being relegated to an intellectual elite, which just loves to jerk itself off at every opportunity with its own greatness, rather than producing something 'great'.[/quote] Jeep?? Is that you??![/quote]
