It's hard to know where to start with this, but the idea that Western art was formally just the domain of kings is just wrong. Medieval era artwork often was commisioned by kings, of course, but some of the most beautiful art of Medieval period came out of monasteries, my favorite to point to being the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. And the art styles/artists aren't looked back fondly on because they "smashed the values of the previous era" they are looked back fondly on because they were innovative, beautiful pieces of art that went on to inspire future generations. The old artstyles and values of the time continuing to propagate themselves alongside the new ones. The only actual art movements I can think of that actually were done with the explicit goal of smashing the past, so to speak, were the Italian futurists and the Socialist realists, and neither actually succeeded towards that end and aren't looked back on nearly as fondly.

少しずつ日本と西側の違いが分かってきた。どうやら西側ではEAのトラウマというものがあって「大企業=インディーズの天才クリエイター達を潰してゲームで儲けた悪の帝国」という共通認識があるっぽい…？その悪の帝国が勝手にサービスを終了した=作品が殺された　という認識なのかな、多分。

There's such a different response to this from Japanese fans and everyone else, most people are happy about a dead game being brought back by the community. But I've seen a bunch of Japanese fans angry about this because it goes against the wishes of Square Enix.

Right, and many recent Assassin's Creed games have been doing badly, the reasons you just stated included. That they are failing to portray the authenticity they sell themselves as having and which the former presence of was a draw of the older games makes them worse pieces of art than earlier games in the series.

Well that's the thing, we aren't saying that entertainment is inferior to art. We are saying that the way we define art, the word, includes what you over in Japan consider to be entertainment experiences Reading through all the replies I've gotten since my posts blew up, the conclusion I've come to is that the word "art" in Japanese maps cleanly onto what we refer to as "high art" in English and what you are calling "entertainment products" in Japanese maps more-or-less cleanly onto the concept of "low art" in English, and given the other posts I've seen, the same applies to most other languages to. "Low art" not meaning something that is inferior to high art, but just meaning that it isn't engaging in high minded concepts. In other words, at this point I think it's basically a translation error with a few other cultural quirks on top.

It's worth noting that when I say the views of a creator naturally will leak into their work, I mean that as a good thing. Entertainment being intertwined with the voice of the creator is as far as I'm concerned something that makes a piece of media more engaging. And when that is subtle as that kind of unintentional leakage normally is, that is normally better, coming across as more authentic and not preachy

Ember2528@ember2528

I think one deeper disconnect is that in the West the concept of an "entertainment product" isn't really a concept that exists in the West and we mostly universally consider art to be a very broad category that describes literally any creative work. Video games logically falling under the category of interactive artwork.

Ember2528@ember2528·20h

I get what you are saying, but the reason I can't really square that circle is that in all but the most basic, shallow slop will inevitably have reflected the internal feelings of their creators in some way, and the consumers of that media will pick up on that, and that itself is both extremely subjective and valid.

Well, the other thing you have to remember is that fundamentally, the US has been the cultural center of the West since World War 2, and our First Amendment rights and our freedom of speech are probably the most deeply embedded concepts in our culture and our legal systems. Regulatory pressures like what you just described at most are capable influencing what is blatantly broadcast on public airwaves like the radio or public television where obscenity can be argued, but anything beyond is basically going to be dead in the water, and specific moral panics of any generation come and go, leaving their mark, but with people still making and distributing basically whatever they want. Also, there is the specific angle that in a lot of cases the underground "vulgar" counterculture just won and became part of the mainstream culture.

Okay, yeah, I've got it now. The labels we use instead are just "high art" and "low art" to make distinction between different kinds of literature (or film or drawing or whatever). Also there is a much stronger understanding that what is considered an example of of "low art" when it is released often will develop a stronger cultural significance and place in history later and become a piece of "high art" to future generations. One iconic piece of American literature that is a perfect example of this being the Little House on the Prairie books.

We would normally just describe those as more basic forms of art than more complex or in-depth works, but we wouldn't say they "aren't art". And, also, I can't think of any game that isn't some mixture of those elements you just labeled. Like, a lot of simpler games don't have a story because that doesn't always make sense, but every game has visuals, sound design, and gameplay that were made with intentionality by the people who made them. Some are just a lot simpler and more limited than others.

@ember2528 ゲームが芸術と言われるのは、音楽やビジュアル・ストーリー等が、ゲームの作者の創作性を意図し、それを実現しているからであると思っていました。エンターテイメント製品の中に、芸術性が含まれているかどうかです。そして、芸術性がなくともエンターテイメント製品としてのゲームは成立します。

What you are describing in regards to what is and isn't considered art exists in the West, but in a far more limited form that rarely lasts for more than a single generation before their kids just naturally group the new type of media under "art". Or beyond that there are certain kinds of people who dismiss baser more pandering forms of media as "not real art" but that isn't the norm and most people consider that kind of mindset elitist and out of touch. Like, the most recent example of the generational divide is video games where it is more common for older generations to not consider it art, but they won't be able to give a clear reason, and ask anyone under the age of 40 and they will just refer to them as a form of art.

The "products designed to make money" angle does make me ask though how you categorize the freely available Web Novels a lot of authors in Japan post on syosetu and other sites of that nature. Because they aren't really making anyone money unless they get picked up by a publisher and rewritten as a light novel and while more polished those aren't different in spirit from the web novels they tend to be adapted from. Do you consider light novels to be entertainment media?

Well, yeah. I may not quite be getting what your saying, but we absolutely have labels like "arcade games" "tabletop RPGs", and "board games", but we just consider them as different categories of art as capable of having as much cultural value as literature, paintings, or anything else that traditionally falls under the arts. The specific format they take on doesn't really affect that.

Ember2528@ember2528·21h

Yeah, of course! When I look at any piece of media, I am investing myself in the characters, trying to infer the values and messaging the creator put into the work, etc. To be clear, that doesn't mean I think every piece of art has the same amount of depth. Just to list off some Japanese series I like, Nekopara clearly has less depth than Overlord, which clearly has less depth than Mushoku Tensei and the degree to which I seriously take in their messaging varies with that, though doesn't completely go away at any level. But Regardless the format or traditional "seriousness" associated with any given type of media is irrelevant in my mind to whether or not it is capable of being art or being worth thinking about. Does that make sense?

A lot of people see one of the side benefits of this kind of legislation being that it pushes publishers against the live service model that I think you are talking about. After all, what we have basically seen that category of online games turned into is a bunch of very similar games, most of which loaded with microtransactions despite often being sold as a full priced AAA game. And then because the market is so saturated a lot of them fail to stay profitable making paying customers feel robbed when the servers go down. What most of us really want are the lightweight games with peer-to-peer multiplayer that requires cheap or nonsexist servers to maintain online services for that we pay for upfront, and continue to support through purchasing expansion packs the developers may release throughout the game's life. That was the model before live service and those were much better times.

Well, yeah. That is correct. And I support those people whenever I can. It is truly wonderful to see people take initiative and put in the work to make content more accessible to other players. Also, more broadly, while this isn't universally true, there is a general distrust towards the companies that large Japanese publishers tend to outsource their translations too thanks to there being many documented examples of the localizers butchering translations so you'll sometimes even see things lile fan retranslations of games that already have official translations.

The Licensing Alliance just changed H.264 video royalties for new licenses starting in 2026. Big streaming services used to pay a maximum of $100,000 per year. Now the cap is much higher up to $4.5 million for the largest platforms. Old 2025 licenses stay the same. Small or new services still pay the lower rate.
