the Art makes the artist, not the other way around.
I briefly saw Kasz say games aren't "good enough to be art yet". I'm not going to get into the various levels of why I believe that to be a false statement and will just say I disagree.
In all things there is an astute differance between the value of economic greatness and aesthetic greatness. I think people, who may or may not lack a refined taste for the latter, will chose to represent the former because it has a more finite result that leaves less ground for debate.
I could elaborate but, I think that can sum it up nicely.
As far as gaming and where it leads can be seen in all other markets the world over. What started as art, and beautiful will be devoured by mass consumerism. Music (very good example by the way), Movies, Stage, Furniture, Gardening, Sculpting and so-on, has had it's price found and has been bought and sold. Even sex fits in this. Our concept of monetary value, OH and Sport. Big time! is set to redifine true value with it's new artificial worth.
