Wow, your great at this, you make an argument as to why games can't be called art, I give you a rebuttal and now your being all butthurt about it. I'll end this now, but from now on, don't start an argument you can't fight for, you only look silly.

I didn't actually make that argument. Calm down, and read through this thread carefully.

It's interactive media, which just happens to require artistic processes in its creation. The end result is a product which is intended for mass consumption. To call that something so rare as art just feeds the egos of fools.

You did make that argument. 

The best you could have done was explain yourself in your first reply, if I was wrong, I'll admit to it, but you decided to be touchy on the whole thing from the get go.

We've taken this thread off course, just leave it, I don't intend to to have a back and forth with you for another few pages.

And I admitted that I was wrong to make that argument. I even admitted, when confronted about it the first time, that I was naive to have done so. I even thought I'd accidentally shamed a very intelligent contributor. This is why I hoped that you would read through the thread and acknowledge others' (my) mistakes.

Sometimes I like to test my fellow man at the expense of my own nebulous internet reputation. Your attitude here, frankly, stinks.
