The Debate Over the Need for "Fixed" Art: Insights from Sam Barlow

February 17, 2025 - 05:15

The Debate Over the Need for

In a thought-provoking discussion, Sam Barlow, the creator of "Her Story," reflects on the contentious views expressed by the late film critic Roger Ebert regarding video games as a form of art. Ebert famously argued that video games could not be considered art, a stance that ignited a fierce debate within the gaming community and beyond. Barlow, known for his innovative storytelling techniques in interactive media, challenges this notion by emphasizing the narrative depth and emotional engagement that video games can offer.

Drawing parallels to the acclaimed television series "Breaking Bad," Barlow highlights how both mediums can evoke powerful responses and provoke critical thought. He argues that just as television has evolved to tell complex stories, video games have similarly matured, offering players not just entertainment but also profound experiences that resonate on multiple levels. This ongoing dialogue about the nature of art and its various forms continues to shape the landscape of both gaming and storytelling, inviting audiences to reconsider their definitions of artistic expression.
