In fact, I think the whole premise of this thread and your contributing argument is confused and self-contradictory. It seems there's a small niche of games you like - mostly either Japanese games or else avant-garde Indie stuff - and without defining any real criteria you're declaring "I like these games because they're art, and they're art because they're games I like". Later you go on to say that games that don't meet your snooty personal standards are not only not art, but not really games either, which is mind-boggling.
I'd love for you to clarify some of your terms and the ideas you're putting forth.
