Video games can strive for cultural significance:

“I think we ought to [absorb] only the kind of [art] that wounds and stabs us. If the [art] we are [experiencing] doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we [experiencing] it for? We need the [art] that affects us like a disaster, that grieves us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. [Art] must be an ice-axe for the seas frozen inside of our souls.”
- Franz Kafka

“Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash – the triumphs, the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life: we’re going to die. “Be of good heart,” cry the dead artists out of the living past. “Our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? Go on singing.” Maybe a man’s name doesn’t matter all that much. " – Orson Welles, F for Fake
