apropos of nothing, here's some silly banal thoughts on "videogames are/aren't art"
...basically the question is pointless and flawed.
Videogames are art in the same way a bucket of paint and some brushes are. As in, they're not. they're a MEDIUM for art. Art can be created with that medium, or someone could just smash it onto a canvas and fling it out the door in the hopes someone is gullible enough to pay top dollar for it.
I mean I could be super wrong and barking up the wrong tree tho.
