XmXFLUXmX: Some are, some aren't, but game developers shouldn't strive to create "art". Let me give you an example. The Postal franchise was built around the concepts of being "cool, edgy, hip, against the grain etc" and what was the end result? Rather mediocre gameplay, wrapped in profanity and and scatological references.
I get your point, but I really doubt the Postal devs aimed for art. they aimed for "profanity and scatological references", and, well in their way succeded.

XmXFLUXmX: Elvis kept his politics, and his art separate, because he knew that nobody wanted him to get on his soapbox.
hmm, yes, with songs like "In the Ghetto", "Change of Habit", "If I Can Dream", and "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" as well as beliver in civil rights, no politics there... If art has to have soul, is it not difficult, or impossible, to separate the soul and the believes of the creator from the creation? If the creator (artist) do not put his soul into his art, do it not just become soulless and boring?

XmXFLUXmX: Did you watch the video, you know, the part where Elvis avoids the Vietnam question?
what did it prove? That Elvis did not like to be interviewed about his believes? Does it mean that he did not perform "In the Ghetto", "Change of Habit", "If I Can Dream", "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" and other songs which through his art showed his political and humanitarian stance?

in other words - it do not answer my question at all.

edit: Being political do not mean ramming down your political message at every single opportunity you get. Elvis showed his political stance through his art, not through his interviews...
