I meant that games are purely artificial creations, so everything that the developers can do depends heavily on the technological tools at their disposal. That’s why the entire medium of games changes radically over the course of a few years, whereas novels and low-budget films and TV series remain much the same.
Try creating a Commodore 64 game with the ambience of BioShock or Shadow of the Colossus. You see my point?
Of course I do see your point, I'm not trying to say you're entirely wrong. It's just that your opinion seemed a bit extreme ("The two
cannot be separated.")
My point is that technology doesn't play as great a part in the gaming experience than in the making of a game. Try creating a Wii game better than a Commodore 64 game.
Trolling aside, I only disagree with your initial statement, which, again, I find too extreme ; I'm perfectly fine with your last message.
