Comment of course its art: art ~ artificial (Score 1) 376
1) i thought art described anything artificial (man-made)
2) according to dictionary.com: art: human efforts to immitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature. seems to me that video games that do any of these things are art (or posess components of art). physics is immitated in many video games (or altered, or supplemented or counteracted). light. gravity. nature itself (sounds, wind, water, life, death).
3) who actually would debate this? probably the regular group of anti-capitalist, socialist, elitists who accept without challenge the idea that paint spattered on a canvas in random patterns is art but feel the need to debate whether or not something (at least partly) motivated by profits, something requiring intellect, skill, time and effort, and investment and something that somebody actually gives enough of a crap about that they will shell over their money for -- they cannot accept that it is art. typical elitist spewage.
