Flickr adds a virtual photography category as more games embrace photo modes
to help users find and categorize images they capture in their favorite video games. Previously, the platform only offered three content categories: photos, illustration and art, and screenshots. The company notes the third and final one didn’t quite meet the needs of one of its fastest-growing communities, which is why it’s making the change.
“By putting your work into one of these categories, you can use filters to limit your search results by interest,” Flickr explains in a blog post spotted by. “For instance, virtual photographers will be able to filter by ‘virtual photography’ while conducting site-wide searches if they only want to see that kind of work, while avoiding real-world photography or other art and illustration.”
The addition is an acknowledgment of just how popular virtual photography has become. We’re at the point where most games either ship with a photo mode at launch or the feature is . Many developers have also started to frequently share the best captures from their communities. For instance, Hideo Kojima retweetsphoto mode images almost every week, as do studios like CD Projekt Red and Guerrilla Games.All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.
