My girlfriend's art teacher said video games are not art. Do you agree?

Who the heck cares?

To me video games were always meant to be "fun". As long as its fun, it doesn't matter to me if people classify it in their mind as art or high energy astrophysics or whatever else.

That is not the point. It does not hurt my feelings that he does not consider video games as art but I was/am still curious to what gamers believe
