    how do you know I’m not appreciative of the art as I’m playing?

    I’ve seen quite a lot of symbolism, meaning, and expressions through video games. but not every video game is made for artistic expression. they can be, to great effect IMHO.

    either way, how the art is experienced is entirely up to the individual player. and there’s no definitive way to experience art. that… kind of defeats the purpose of art, ya know?

      Probably just agreeing, but Why does art need a definitive way to experience, or for that matter, a “purpose”?

      I do think that how we talk about art is also part of how we experience it.

        that was my point. there’s no definitive “right way” to experience or find purpose in art.

        I would agree that sharing our experience with others is important. they might have a different take.
