College Prof says: Games + Sex = Art!

Wednesday 28 May 2008 @ 11:28 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 4 Comments

Daniel Floyd, a professor at Savannah College of Art and Design, thinks games need more sex. Not your usual kind of gratuitous sexuality in video games, no, but a more mature and coherent treatment of sex and intimacy video games. Professor Floyd believes, as he explains in the video above, that this true maturation of sexuality in games beyond the juvenile will help elevate games to the art-form status they surely deserve. Quite frankly I agree; sure I enjoy scantly dressed video game vixens as much as the next guy, but when it starts getting to Soul Calibur IV levels… something’s gone wrong, horribly wrong.

EDIT: Daniel is not a professor at SCAD, but a student, updated video with some corrections is up.

    I agree- Sex as an art form has been a great excuse to justify it for centuries :D
