Description
Video game screenshots are not art, stop posting them on an art website. Entertaining? Yes. Funny? Perhaps. Art? No. 
Made this a while back, figured I'd be selling my soul to the demon of insincere fanservice if I didn't post it.
TL;DR: No matter how new/inexperienced you are at drawing/painting/photoshop, I'll always respect you a thousand times more when you post real artwork than when you take the cheap and lazy way out.
Thanks to =jake10684 for the Awesome Stamp Border.
PS. This is not a personal shot at anyone, especially not those on my watchlist. If you're on my watchlist, I watch you because I love your ART. Post more of it and I'll be a happy camper indeed.
PPS. If you're going to post screencaps here, TOS requires you put them in scraps only. FAQ #578: What does deviantART consider to be a proper desktop screenshot?
Read it.

I think DA removed this FAQ. Anyway, I could not agree more. I know you posted this years ago, but seriously, I never seen this many screenshots flooding DA since I posted my first thing here, 13 years ago. Everytime I press the button "..." and use the Show less like this option, but I think this option is either pointless, or just don't work at all, or even maybe both. It is really annoying and the funniest thing, I don't see this happening in other plataforms like Newground, Pixiv and stuff. Maybe the DA staff just don't care about this, I don't know, but it seems like DA is becoming a dumpster, and this is sad.
Ps: You definitely should repost this, this issue never was as bad, as it is right now.
