2022 edit
In 2022, two prominent student-run newspapers published articles taking the position that video games are art; The Miscellany News,[1] and The Queen's Journal.[2] --2001:1C06:19C9:400:D411:F23A:A538:40CA (talk) 21:49, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Moriarty edit
I can’t find Gage’s criticism of Moriarty and we should maybe note that Moriarty has backed down from his statements with more recent articles. 2603:6010:11F0:3C0:9C91:9750:853D:2CB0 (talk) 12:48, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
Talk page archival issue edit

This Talk page has an archival issue that I'm unable to tackle myself. There is no archives box, even though a bot is archiving to Talk:Video games as an art form/Archives/1. I'm not sure why there isn't. Maybe the template is missing completely, and/or maybe the "ClueBot III/ArchiveThis" template that is used has an incorrect archiveprefix ("Talk:Art game/Archives/"). Either way, can someone add the archives box. And maybe we can figure out why there isn't one, to prevent the same problem on other Talk pages. Thanks. --2001:1C06:19CA:D600:6050:8C06:DA00:38A7 (talk) 11:53, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- It has been set up in a non-standard format which is causing the archive links to not show. I have fixed the issue. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

No examples whatsoever? edit
From what I can tell, the article has no examples whatsoever. Not even a couple of games with a bunch of refs, that some critics have called these artistic. Back in the day, the article included a list, but that was moved to a separate list article, which was then deleted. Quite frankly, including no examples whatsoever is ridiculous. Surely one reliable source somewhere has called at least one game at least somewhat artistic. How do we manage to create such stupid articles. --2001:1C06:19CA:D600:6050:8C06:DA00:38A7 (talk) 12:01, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Imagine you needed to provide “examples” of people claiming that painting is art, or that literature is art. It makes no sense.
- This entire article is that. It’s nonsense created by people using Wikipedia to hash out their emotional validation. And that group is so large that this page hasn’t been deleted.
- First sentence is blatantly false fluff: “commonly debated in the entertainment industry.” It’s not discussed in “the industry” it’s discussed in surrounding conversation, by randos, and by editorialists. Somebody made up that “in the entertainment industry”
- Because they were flailing around trying to justify the “topic.” It’s a gigantic weasel word tornado: hotly discussed in [random word] [INDUSTRY].
- Yet the article still stands despite being an embarrassment to Wikipedia. RandomEditor6772314 (talk) 04:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
