The purpose of Art

Something I read from www.metalgearsolid.com, which I thought was very insigthful and something worth striving for and taking to heart... (and I think what everyone should strive for - in anything they create and share with others)

A game has to be more than just a way to pass the time. The player has to get something back for the time he spends, something that enriches his life.
