The Mona Lisa is a painting by one person of another person at the behest of another person. That's a total of probably three people directly concerned, and it was most likely a commercial transaction. A piece's relevance doesn't come from how many people were involved in its creation or intended use, or whether it was meant to make the creator money.
- ianai 9y agoSure, but the Mona Lisa gained notoriety for other reasons. My point with these comments isn't to exactly win people over to this idea. This is an idea I felt like 'fleshing out' with a conversation on HN. I'm not entirely sold on it myself. I can't shake this feeling that not every engineering example needs to be preserved for the ages.
- chc 9y agoSure, but insofar as the video game industry is an interesting cultural topic for our age (which I think it is), Nintendo and Sony are probably the most important players in its history, and this prototype represents a pivotal moment for both of them.
