Former GTA creator Leslie Benzies said videogames is a small word to describe the medium, since it has grown so much. He also commented on Everywhere as a metaverse.
I got it. Motion picture - movie. Video game - viddie. Solved.
Personally I call them Vidjas - because I like the way it sounds in my mouth.
Video games are to 'games' nowadays as art is to 'a picture'. There's more depth of experience and expression than the word 'game' can portray effectively. So I agree.
It's from Neal Stephensen's '92 cyber-thriller Snow Crash. It was a hypothetical evolution of the Internet and the World Wide Web after the titular event crashed global computer-information systems.
Agree. Videogames are so much more than games. Plenty of so-called video "games" have little to do with actual games and the sense of fun they convey. Plenty of video "games" are not fun at all and don't try to be. It's a disservice to call them "games".
This is a good read. I agree that there needs to be either a new word or the word "videogame" needs to be redefined.
I don't know man, that's literally what it is, a game in a video format, no matter how it grows, it's still a digital game

Avatar 2 was Amazing in Imax 3D. It is still just a movie!
All I know is, I REALLY hate the term metaverse
