True art has and will survive worse. Honestly, imo, nothing "mainstream" can really be considered an artform in any meaningful sense. Art can sneak through, but anything made with profit as the main motivator just isn't going to be pushing any envelopes.

I agree. And that's was also my point! I feel like older games were chasing that profit motive much less (well, at least some of the big ones, arcades used to be a thing after all). And you can often quickly see when every franchise started falling off a cliff once it was tried to capitalize on them.
