Good explanation.

Do you see why I argue one is better than the other now? Video games ARE art, and in art you want nothing wasted, and everything to have a purpose.

I'm sympathetic to this view, but there are different forms to consider with different requirements. There are loose, baggy monsters that are Henry James novels, and then there are the concise, perfectly cut small diamonds that are Raymond Carver short stories.

Destiny looks like it might be expansive and large in scope, and that means that some content might not be as important as other content, but it all adds to the whole.

Is the Lord of the Rings art? I'd say so. Is every page of those books absolutely necessary? Debatable, but I'd say that a good deal of what might be called superfluous content adds to the verisimilitude of the world created.
