I just told you this a couple posts ago. Game companies invest capital into game dev as a business. They may hire artistic types, but the reality is that there is an expectation of profit. This is in many respect the opposite of art because art is purely a manifestation of the artist's self expression and a game is not that.

Yes, I did.

In capitalism, products are marketed. You are confusing art with products. Badly. You are also afraid to have a discussion with someone who disagrees with you, which makes your position shaky.

Artists created the imagery, sculpted the environment, composed the music, performed these characters, wrote this story for the world to experience. What the creators of this game did are the same things the Greeks did only in a digital age. Gremal inherently doesn’t understand art and that has been one of their many problems in communicating with others about this game.

Even if we indulge your position, and call the game "art", that is fairly meaningless. There can be great art, poor art, meaningful art, meaningless art, art that resonates with you but not with others, etc., etc.
