DINK DONK AVI TIME *rustles paper* ENGAGEMENT FARMING TIME XDD

ITS FINALLY TIME! This avi has been an idea in the back of my head for months now, and I'm so happy I was able to get it done in a way that is uniquely my creation but also captures that energy of its original source material. This was BY FAR the most difficult avi I've ever made, and I learned a lot in the process. Thank you for all of the support and love on her previous posts; it truly means the world to me!

I am giving away 5 copies on release, to winners who get spun in a wheel if they've completed the requirements below.

"Gamers don't want everything to be high art, sometimes we just want dumb fun"
Well you fuckers buy it even when it isn't fun so who cares

[CSAURAGEUL @csaurageul]

Video games will never be taken seriously as an art form because neither the industry nor the audience treats them as art, and the audience is the larger part of the problem. Games are treated as products to be made fast, sold loud, consumed, discarded, and replaced. That is why Call of Duty and FIFA sell in the billions, not because they endure, but because they are disposable and familiar.

This has nothing to do with graphical fidelity, art style, music, voice acting, or budget, even though players insist otherwise. For most people, “artistic merit” means how flashy, pretty, and expensive a game looks. Spectacle is mistaken for depth, and production value is confused with meaning.

Games are not built to be evergreen because the audience does not want evergreen. The people who revisit old titles, engage deeply with systems, or approach games patiently are a minority. Most want the new release, the hype cycle, and the spectacle, then move on as soon as something shinier appears. This is the same reason Avatar makes a billion dollars per film yet leaves almost no cultural footprint. Audiences want stimulation for a few hours, then the exit.

Art requires patience and trust, and games demand both. They ask players to learn systems, accept friction, and think. The audience rejects this. Anything slow, strange, or uncomfortable is dismissed as boring or pretentious, so risk is punished not just by publishers, but by players themselves.

Because of this, metrics replace meaning. Engagement time, retention, and monetisation become the measure of success, because that is what the audience rewards. Art asks what something is saying. Products ask how long you stayed logged in. Games suffer most here because their greatest strength, player agency, is treated as an inconvenience rather than an opportunity.

Legacy is impossible without permission to fail, and the audience does not allow failure. A bad novel does not kill literature. A bad film does not kill cinema. A bad game can kill a studio, because players demand perfection, constant novelty, and infinite support while rejecting experimentation.

So the ceiling stays low by choice. Not because games cannot be art, but because an audience trained on disposability, spectacle, and instant gratification will not tolerate sincerity, patience, or risk. What survives is not what lasts, but what sells loudly and disappears quietly.

[CEO of CUM 🔞 comms closed! @Krekkov]

Isnt this just a tactic to make people purchase gamepass?

Like TOW2 being 80$ makes no sense unless its a way to redirect the herd towards gamepass...

And you dont really own any of the game in gamepass right?
