Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev

@The_Nintend_Pedant Everything is produced. Even we humans are. So from that perspective, we are also products, arent we? Hence, of course that movies, music and games are products technically speaking, because they were produced. However, this is not what Miyamoto was talking about at all. Otherwise he would have said the same words. But he meant that games are products because they are sold and they earn money for Nintendo. This is all what games actually are for Miyamoto. I cannot agree with him. He is a corporate beast.

@tsukipon No, product is something you buy, you use and you throw away. No emotional attachment. Condoms are products, soaps are products, food is product, cars are product. When you play games, you feel completely different things than you feel when you eat or wash your hands. When you play a game, you have feelings similar to those when you watch a movie or read a book. Are movies or books just products? No, they are a form of art. And so are games!
