Our Take
It's nice to see video games getting more love from institutes of refinement and knowledge. Last year the Smithsonian hosted a video game exhibit and this year, New York's MOMA announced that it would be add 14 video games to its installation on video games. It seems like the debate on whether or not video games are art is over, but we can still argue about something else.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
