Do you consider video games to be art and why?

I don't, but I know a lot may disagree!Do you consider video games to be art and why?
no
I think the CREATION of video games is art. It takes many years and tons of mad skills to create a functional, fun video game with a story line, and one that is to top all the other great games at that.



The playing of these games is just that....playing, no matter the age.Do you consider video games to be art and why?

Very well scripted story
Very high arts / graphics
It's art because you have to be creative in order to come up with battling scenes or music etc... takes a lot of thinking... it's not like pornos where you just tell two people to have sex.Do you consider video games to be art and why?
nope
