    I remember this used to be the BIGGEST game at the time of its release

    This game slotted nicely into the "are games art" debate that was popular at the time

    games are mix of entertainment, play and art. Play and art actually just automatically results with entertainment and art experience. You can go to a more entertainment side or go more of an art approach. Just like in the films. Marvel movies are more of an entertainment approached but still is an art at the end of the day. Music is same too. Some artists just make the same music that is out there and some try to express a feeling or an idea through musical and lyrical techniques. Games allow us to create a reality. And we use play as another layer. That's already a big opportunity.

    yeah lots of games made by one person make tens of millions of dollars. i mean ultrakill made 100,000,000 dollars and it was made by one person.
