True of other artistic mediums as well. Everyone wants their hobby to be “art” but nobody wants to actually engage critically with anything which they consume. For most people, film, literature and music are sources of cheap dopamine hits, and the artistic output of the twenty-first century shows it.
It’s even worse. The whole journalistic side of it is just a giant paid ad over and over again. There’s no real critique of games being done by these outlets that pretend to do it. It sucks seeing the whole medium being treated as just a product and never as art.
Yeah I dont understand how games journalism is so bad specifically. It’s so infuriating trying to find out about something only for an article to waffle on about nothing for 5 pages
When I think of art, I think of rich aristocrat dumbasses trading ugly pictures. The word is completely poisoned for me.
probably not literally the same people
