No, I simply looked at a few videos of people playing it. Note that I'm not saying it's a good game, just that being a bad game doesn't imply it's not art.

- leakycap 1y agoThe developer -sorry, studio- is the one claiming this is art. I was curious, looked, and saw nothing remotely resembling art. I encourage you to review the App Store listing since that is what is being removed. The description on this free app still shows "80% off limited time sale!" on this art (which is now free, so the description makes no sense). I think this is much ado about nothing. If you cared about the app, make it something people want. Nobody wants a game from 2015 with bad graphics and lackluster storyline.
- saubeidl 1y agoArt is in the eye of the beholder.
- leakycap 1y agoSo why are you telling Apple (the 'beholder' in this case) that they're wrong? Your statement means everyone's opinion about art is valid, which means even this comment is art™
- AlotOfReading 1y agoApple isn't the beholder here. Users are. I think you're just using an overly narrow definition of art that excludes things you don't find aesthetically pleasing. I'm assuming you also wouldn't find Rauschenberg's white paintings (https://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/galleries/series/white-paintings-1951 https://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/art/galleries/series/...) or Picasso's various animal drawings (https://www.pablopicasso.net/images/Camel%20Pablo%20Picasso.jpg https://www.pablopicasso.net/images/Camel%20Pablo%20Picasso....) to be art? Would you care to venture a definition of art?
- bigyabai 1y agoBecause Apple isn't a person? It's a business, they shouldn't impede the expression of speech unless they desire for the world to know them as prudes and socially-contrived autists.
