No art speaks entirely for itself (Gaming)

Which is why you can take a urinal, put it in a museum and it becomes art.
But is that art momentary, or lasting? Seems to me once you know the gimmick of the urinal it's fun for two seconds but then ceases to be. Context can be important, but the things that give the most pleasure are the ones where that comes from the work itself mostly.You can know nothing about the politics of the 1930s and 1940s and still enjoy a good film noir.
Is anybody arguing that NMS is a game for the ages? Feels like you're moving the goalposts.
