Research on the Commercial Value and Artistic Value of Video Games
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Video games, as a relatively new but increasingly mature art form, gradually have a different value than other art forms as they develop. Video games can only be treated properly if the players are fully aware of their multifaceted nature. So the topic of this paper is the value of video games. This paper will try to solve the problem through multi-angle analysis and the experiential summary method. It can be concluded that the game's value is primarily comprised of its commodity and artistic value. As a commodity, games do make a lot of money for game companies. As art, games are indeed artistic and even have a higher dimension than other art forms.
Keywords
