In Response To: Re: Double standard (Cody Miller) : Oh wow. I have a new favorite female gamer. She actually gets it! There's : hope yet. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZueOCLGt1tw "The minute you start treating them as a serious social commentary is the minute you forget what they were created for in the first place." Whaaat. There is no form of art that exists purely for the pleasure of the consumer. There exist films that are eyecandy and there exist films that are thought provoking. There exist books, paintings, and pieces of music that run the same spectrum, and there are most certainly games that make you think about the world in addition to those that are simply enjoyable to play and this does not make them less good. Videogames have the potential to explore the same and more issues that other art forms address. Dismissing a serious conversation because "hey, it's just a game" is absolutely infuriating.
