In Paul’s reading about gaming, he states, “Gaming references in digital art have occasionally been called a ‘trend’ or a ‘new style’. Definitely something I can relate to. When I think of video games or computer games, I do not reflect on them with artistic value. I believe it is less of an artists’ job to perfect computer games. For example, the Sims, from Paul’s opinion, is considered a piece of art. Sims is an amazing game. It gives gamers of all ages an activity to pass the time. However, to consider it piece of art is pushing the limit. I agree there should be no limits to art however, this is not even in the same category as art.
