Jason Rohrer

Jason Rohrer Work from his oeuvre. “I am prepared to believe that video games can be elegant, subtle, sophisticated, challenging, and visually wonderful,” Roger Ebert, the world’s most famous film critic, wrote in 2005. “But I believe the nature of the medium prevents it from moving beyond craftsmanship to the stature of art. To my […]

Nicolas Ceccaldi
