The document discusses how games can be considered a form of art through their aesthetics and experience of play. It explores how games engage players through meaningful decisions, sensory pleasures, and complex rule systems that are open-ended yet bounded. The aesthetics of games are seen as comparable to other artistic media through their focused contexts and interactions they facilitate for the player.
