Are Video Games Terrorism?

15 February, 2007 (20:09) | Gaming, Journalism | By: Loris Z.

“The question is not whether or not videogames are art, or can be art; that’s a terrible question. Asking if anything is or is not or can be or can not be art is a truly horribly bad question. It’s an microphone-off-shirt-collar-ripping, “This interview is over” kind of question. If I were a producer of any kind of entertainment, that’d be my reaction. Furious exasperation. For God’s sake, before you ask if videogames are art, ask if they’re entertainment. And if you confirm that they are indeed entertainment, ask if they are, or are not, terrorism. ”

An excellent essay by Tim Rogers, found on Kieron Gillen’s site. At Insert Credit.
