Thats a good point, the playing of a game can be seen as an artform in itself. I makes games myself, so I guess I naturally give more credit to a games designer

Thats a good point, the playing of a game can be seen as an artform in itself. I makes games myself, so I guess I naturally give more credit to a games designer rather than it's players. Eg. It's hard to think of someone streaming a game on twitch as an artist. But people see great sportsmen are artists, I'm probably wrong and need to open my mind about that.
- morelisp 5y agoA better analogy for a Twitch streamer would be someone performing an already-written play or piece of music. It's true a lot of games don't offer much room for expression on the part of the player, but that's often a stronger indictment of the game than of the player, and definitely not true of competitive abstracts.
