well, i think that's a conservative point of view. My point of view is different. Video games spur a ton of technological advancements because there's always so much demand from consumers. Technological advancements are always slow and under-funded if it's not backed up by common consumers. There aren't many things that common consumers crave more than entertainment.
- jstewartmobile 9y agoi think that's a grossly sub-optimal arrangement. we got VASTLY more bang for our buck out of the ARPA guys like Minsky, McCarthy, Kay, Sutherland, etc than we ever did out of the gaming and entertainment industries, and we did it without exploiting the competitiveness and compulsiveness of children and children-at-heart edit: to be fair, some games have risen to the level of high-art, but I doubt many artists are going to complain about the pay or the effort when they know that they have accomplished such a thing
