Not that I agree with Ebert about "games can never be art", I just think he's a little misguided. I know for myself, the heaviest readers I know HATE games with a strange passion. Maybe there's a similar situation in his life, and he's just making a false assumption based on his personal experience.

It's kind of pathetic how much people are getting into this (not here, I mean the one's stalking him on twitter and such). If he's uninformed, which seems to be the case, then why even get into it? What's the point? It's kind of sad the way people just outright attack him over this. If anything, the journalists and gamers are in the wrong with the way they are pursuing this.

And again, why's it matter if other people think it's art or not? What should matter here is your own opinion since art, and experiencing it, is very personal.

And to the above, I liked Avatar =(
