"Videogames are art" - Wrong
Are videogames art? An interesting (but very wrong) article from the Wolfire games blog after Roger Ebert caved in (no pun intended - just kidding, it was) to the masses of mindless gamers who insist videogames as an art form. So when a developer can crank out three sequels a year and have hundereds of programmers, model makers, sound designers, or what have you, designing a game then it is a manufacturing process at that point. I'm not saying videogames CAN'T be art, there are definitely some good examples out there, but to imply all games as an art is absurd. The same could be said for movies.
