On Videyah Games

This Argument is Compelling But we encounter a problem because though art may be experienced and is not static The video game has an issue in the limits of its interpretation. The humanities as we understand them have indefinite subjective interpretations from a variety of perspectives. I.e. there is no end point in a work of art. There is no goal to be achieved. When you look at a painting... it is an experience with no end. It by its boundaries can become boundless. the viewer is attempting to make an experience and go somewhere but this goal is not say "kill X person." The video game is limited in the nature of clearly defined goals. The clearly defined goals make it a game. Until it can supercede this... It has not found its place in art.
The video game makes one a being for another. it makes pretend as someone else and does not affirm the life of the individual playing. Yes it is interactive but the interactive cannot be a clear goal management. Because life is not a series of objectives to be completed.
