The fact is, there will always be a "devil magicks!" item of the era, and the previous generation will rail against it. In 2020, you'll have video games being a highly respectable art, but some sort of new "hypergame" created as you go along through a mission or whatever the hell comes next will be railed against as not high art. Don't worry about Ebert. The guy obviously just believes his word is law, and arguing with those kind of people will get you nowhere, unfortunately. Nice cat picture, by the way.
