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
|
Critics don't decide what's art, they just decide what they think is good art (usually whatever's the most sophisticated). And they're generally pretty entertained by art that they think is good, even if most people aren't.
And on the other side, just because something is low-brow, unsophisticated, and popular, that doesn't mean that it isn't art.
