8 Things Games Do Better Than Any Art

People say games arenโ€™t art.

โŒ Wrong!

Games do what no other art form can.

Hereโ€™s 8 ways games outshine everything:

๐Ÿญ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Œ๐˜ญ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ

โ€ข Books make you imagine.
โ€ข Movies make you feel.
โ€ข Games make you live it.

Mass Effect โ†’ Choices shape your story.

๐Ÿฎ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜˜๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ง

โ€ข A book shows a hero making tough choices
โ€ข A game forces you to make it.

Spec Ops: The Line โ†’ Regret every step.

๐Ÿฏ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜Œ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜บ

โ€ข Movies show only whatโ€™s filmed.
โ€ข Games let you look everywhere.

RDR2 โ†’ Secrets in every town.

๐Ÿฐ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜‹๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ

โ€ข โ€˜Fast & Furiousโ€™ wonโ€™t teach driving.
โ€ข With racing games youโ€™ll pick up skills fast.

F1 โ†’ Even Formula 1 champions use it.

๐Ÿฑ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ

โ€ข In movies, the hero is never YOU.
โ€ข In games, your instincts kick in.

Resident Evil 4 โ†’ Run or get wrecked.

๐Ÿฒ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜บ

โ€ข Books and films are linear.
โ€ข Games change based on you.

The Witcher 3 โ†’ Your choices matter.

๐Ÿณ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Š๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ

โ€ข You canโ€™t edit a movie.
โ€ข In games, you shape the experience.

Minecraft โ†’ Create entire worlds.

๐Ÿด. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜–๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜›๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ

โ€ข Ever rewatch a movie 100 times? No.
โ€ข Gamers grind for years.

CS:GO โ†’ 10K hours, and still improving.

๐Ÿ“Œ Final Thought

If games can teach, shape & challenge us
โ†ณ Are they more than just entertainment?

Can any other art form do what games do?
โ†ณ Or are they in a league of their own?

What game changed how you thinkโ“
