Roger Ebert says video games can never be art

[Opa-Opa]

I never thought Ebert would never be able to shut his fat mouth and then he lost his jaw ....

Is that a bit callous?

 

Wait....he has cancer.....dayum.

I know that feeling all too well, but still.  It seems Ebert's basis is that art is viewed "from afar," but I think video games, even though immersive, can be art.  Though, these days, they are as blockbuster as the infallible "cinema."
