Rockstar's Dan Houser has said he enjoys the fact that videogames are not as highly respected as TV or film because of the freedom that affords developers.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the Grand Theft Auto IV scribe commented that traditional mediums were "codified" and that videogames benefited from having "no accepted way of doing anything"

I say this lack of respect is harming us, the gamer. If games where a medium as respected as Film we'd have an R Rating that allows developers to release adult work that would really allow games to truly shine. Companies would no longer need to censor as harshly as they do now. People could get over the hysteria that accompanies a release like GTA because it would be treated just like a tarantino movie.
Then maybe we could see some innovation in story tellling & we could move past the sad sacks of cack that is gears of bore & haho
