    Video game art is when linear series of levels with some cinematic set pieces, primitive stealth and shoot mechanics, obligatory derivative off-the-shelf survival crafting, but graphics and vague gestures of having a plot around as interesting or developed as a 3 dollar bargain bin YA novel.

    Imagine thinking that revolution in video gaming was basically a bad and childish interactive film and not something mind-melting like her story, dwarf fortress, or the forgotten city.
