I like this argument and to an extent agree with it. In Kojima’s podcast with Jordan Peele they discussed how they inspired each other through their work. Like I’ve said to others, I’m not saying there should be direct comparisons but only that they should be discussed in the same sphere as each other.

I don’t think it’s unfair or cheapens the artform by talking about them in the same light. I do think that it opens up each medium to one another.

I also wouldn’t say that it’s lumping one into the other, it would be similar to talking about films and tv. Intrinsically different with shared aspects.
