I saw the article earlier today and I'm sad this made it to HN, because it's so low quality. Unfortunate too, because the author clearly loves games and is educated about them. The problem with not thinking that niche web f2p games, or niche games in Asia as "video games", isn't about gentrification. If we asked people in 2010 what video games were, they wouldn't have listed those either. The point is that the zeitgeist is just what people perceive it is. When you ask what represents cinema, they're not going to start with a 10 minute film student essay from Bangladesh. That's not gentrification.
