Good, gaming is entertainment, not art

Still takes art to accomplish that (i.e.: Movies, Music, Dance etc, etc....)

Actually no, it doesn't take 'art' to accomplish entertainment, both however can co-exist within one medium comfortably, as seen in just about every other form of medium from books to movie to music.

In fact you can argue fairly convincingly that any medium that contains the former will invariably contain the later.


 Many things that are considered art are not considered entertaining by the mass market, and many things that are considered low borw by the critics are extremely popular
