@ZoeQuinnzel @ColtonPhillips What else makes a game good?
Kinda sucks that there's still this strong commitment to the idea that a game is only as good as it is fun :/
-

-
@jayseman@ColtonPhillips Being interesting, teaching you something new, making you feel a specific emotion it set out to do, etc -
@ZoeQuinnzel@ColtonPhillips Is there a point where it stops being a game and becomes an interactive work of art? -
@jayseman@ColtonPhillips That argument basically says games aren't art which I vehemently disagree with so...? -
@ZoeQuinnzel@ColtonPhillips Not all games are art. Not all games are fun. Not all games are good. -
@jayseman@ColtonPhillips That is your opinion and that's fine. I am not going to get into a twitter debate on what a game is or what art is

@ZoeQuinnzel As opposed to "fun" -
@Kallemacd or even just "interesting", "enjoyable", or any other word that isn't a singular, narrow emotion -
@ZoeQuinnzel Exactly. I think to broaden the idea of gaming we need not always focus on fun. Just like any other narrative.

@ZoeQuinnzel I'd say we should drop the term "game" entirely. Interactive media shouldn't be restricted to one narrow avenue anymore. -
@LowOnLifeCast
@ZoeQuinnzel Game is a perfect word for what interactive media is, Its the lack of understanding of what the word game means. -
@Kakistos153
@ZoeQuinnzel It's an out-dated stigma the word carries, more than anything. And a change of perception on what a game can do. - 1 more reply

@ZoeQuinnzel nah, there are lots of people who don't feel that way! It's fine! It's like eating too much candy. -
@HilariousCow@zoequinnzel I, for one, welcome our new notfun overlords.

@ZoeQuinnzel I figure you can easily switch "fun" out for something like "experience" I've played lots of good games that were experiential.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ZoeQuinnzel I would be prepared to respect that idea if it was based on a more sophisticated understanding of fun.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ZoeQuinnzel "Fun" does not apply to narrative games. And narrative games are rarely considered in contests. Remember the IGF on that matterThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
